Amid widespread romance rumors, Carlos Alcaraz & Emma Raducanu spotted together at Wimbledon ahead of US Open partnership

Carlos Alcaraz, the World No. 2 and two-time Wimbledon champion, and Emma Raducanu, the 2021 US Open champion and World No. 38, were spotted together at the All England Club on June 26, 2025, intensifying romance rumors ahead of their US Open mixed doubles partnership in August. The pair, seen practicing and chatting on Aorangi Park courts, displayed a relaxed camaraderie, captured in a video by @WTA_insider on X, who noted their “easy chemistry.” The sighting, reported by *The Sun* and *Tennis.com*, follows Raducanu’s support at Alcaraz’s Queen’s Club semifinal on June 21, where she was seen cheering his 6-4, 6-4 win over Roberto Bautista Agut.

Raducanu, addressing the rumors in a June 23 *BBC Sport* interview, emphasized their friendship, rooted in their 2021 Wimbledon and US Open breakthroughs, saying, “We’ve known each other since we were 18. It’s a genuine connection, and I’m glad the internet is having fun with it.” Alcaraz echoed this, telling *The Guardian*, “Emma’s a great friend, and we’re excited to team up for the US Open. She’s the boss!” Their shared Evian sponsorship, announced June 26, has further linked them, with *EssentiallySports* speculating about a joint campaign. Fans on X, like @TennisFanUK, dubbed them “Alcaranu,” while @IkkaHukumKa noted Raducanu’s purple training top as a “subtle nod” to Alcaraz’s signature color.

Both face challenging Wimbledon draws, starting June 30. Alcaraz, seeded No. 2, opens against Luca Nardi, with potential matches against Denis Shapovalov and Lorenzo Musetti, per *Sky Sports*. Raducanu, a wildcard, faces Mingge Xu, with 2023 champion Marketa Vondrousova and Aryna Sabalenka looming, per *BBC Sport*. Despite Raducanu’s back injury concerns, their off-court bond, highlighted by a playful exchange during practice, adds intrigue to their Wimbledon campaigns and future US Open collaboration.
