“We’re just good friends,” Emma Raducanu denied any kind of romantic relationship with reigning Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz a few days back. However, ever since the US Open officially paired them for the mixed doubles for their next edition, the buzz around their off-court chemistry is only picking up steam.

It all started back in June when the two were spotted having a good time, laughing and discussing during training sessions and sponsor events in London. They even did a fun promo for Evian, which got everyone talking on social media. The buzz started growing when Raducanu turned up for Alcaraz’s Queen’s Club final last month, even when she was out of competition, recovering from an injury. Add her most recent appearance, and now it seems their rumored relationship is just a stamp of approval away from Emmacaraz.

Yesterday, when Carlos was playing Andrey Rublev in the R16, Emma was seen engrossed in the game and cheering for the Spaniard with coach Mark Petchey by her side in Centre Court. Nick Kyrgios, the 2022 Wimbledon finalist, also poked fun at romantic rumors. When asked if there is anything between Alcaraz and Emma, he said, “I don’t know, I think it’s a love triangle. [Jack] Draper, Alcaraz, Raducanu. They’re fighting over Raducanu, I think, I’m not sure.”

Not to forget, Raducanu lost in the third round against Aryna Sabalenka. Still, the Brit turned up at Alcaraz’s match. On X, Raducanu News posted some images of the British tennis star cheering, smiling widely, and looking totally engaged in every exciting match. When you look at it all, Emma Raducanu’s clear support and joy while watching Alcaraz play really tell a great story: it’s not just gossip—this is about friendship, teamwork, and respect for one another.

As they get ready for their mixed doubles debut at the upcoming US Open, their relationship—built on professional respect and personal friendship—shows that off-court connections can be genuine and supportive, even when they’re making headlines. But you know, all these speculations can really get on fans’ nerves sometimes.

A former tennis legend got caught up in criticism for Emma Raducanu rumors

Tennis legend Chris Evert has strongly responded to critics who said she was more focused on Emma Raducanu’s rumored dating life than on the match commentary itself. Things got heated during Raducanu’s third-round match against world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. Evert brought up some rumors about Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz, which didn’t sit well with fans on social media. They were quick to call her and ESPN out for not focusing on the live tennis action. What do the fans have to say about it?

“They care more about her love life than her playing, as clearly displayed by Chris Evert and ESPN, breaking away from her actual match against the number one seed, where she went up 3-1 in the second set but no one could watch bc they cared more about who was crushing on her,” said a fan on X.

Evert responded with a quick “oh please🙄🙄🙄,” making it clear she wasn’t on board with the suggestion and standing up for her professionalism as a commentator. By responding in a straightforward way, she showed her dedication to keeping the conversation centered on Raducanu’s game, highlighting her position not just as a former champion but as someone who cares about the integrity of tennis.
