Raducanu Breaks Silence on Alcaraz Rumors, Teases US Open Pairing

JAKARTA, 30 June — Emma Raducanu has finally addressed rumors linking her to fellow tennis star Carlos Alcaraz, clarifying that the two are simply good friends, while teasing a potential on-court collaboration that’s already generating buzz.

The 21-year-old Brit, speaking ahead of her Wimbledon 2025 campaign, responded with humor when asked about growing online speculation regarding their relationship.

“We’re just good friends, honestly. People love a headline, but there’s nothing more to it,” Raducanu said with a smile.

But the real headline may be what comes next: Raducanu and Alcaraz are reportedly planning to team up in mixed doubles at the US Open 2025 — a pairing that could quickly become a fan favorite.

If confirmed, the duo would bring both star power and Grand Slam pedigree to the court. Raducanu won the 2021 US Open, while Alcaraz captured the 2022 men’s singles title at Flushing Meadows.

“We’ve talked about playing together. It would be fun — and maybe even dangerous for our opponents,” Raducanu added, noting that her primary focus remains on her singles performance at Wimbledon.

The news has already grabbed the attention of fans, who are excited about the potential chemistry between two of the sport’s most charismatic and competitive young stars.

While both are currently focused on packed schedules at Wimbledon, the possibility of a high-profile mixed doubles partnership in New York adds an exciting twist to this year’s Grand Slam season.
