Carlos Alcaraz, the two-time defending Wimbledon champion, and Emma Raducanu, Britain’s No. 1 and 2021 US Open winner, were spotted practicing at the All England Club on June 26, 2025, fueling excitement for their upcoming US Open mixed doubles partnership, per @TheTennisLetter on X. The sighting, captured by @varelanahmias and @_claymagazine, showed the pair in high spirits, with Alcaraz in a white Nike kit and Raducanu in a purple training top—a color some fans, per *Daily Mail*, interpreted as a nod to Alcaraz, amid ongoing romance rumors.[](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14845921/Emma-Raducanu-rumoured-romance-Carlos-Alcaraz.html)
Their interaction follows Raducanu’s appearance at Alcaraz’s Queen’s Club semifinal on June 21, where she cheered his 6-4, 6-4 win over Roberto Bautista Agut, per *Marca*. Alcaraz reciprocated, expressing a desire to support Raducanu at Eastbourne, though his schedule limited him to watching her matches on TV, per *The Mirror US*. Raducanu, addressing their bond in a *BBC Sport* interview, emphasized their “genuine connection” from Wimbledon 2021, saying, “I’m glad the internet is having fun,” dismissing romantic speculation as entertainment, per *Times of India*.[](https://www.marca.com/en/tennis/us-open/2025/06/21/6857167846163fd0ae8b45ce.html)[](https://www.themirror.com/sport/tennis/carlos-alcaraz-emma-raducanu-wimbledon-1222131)[](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/international-sports/emma-addresses-carlos-alcaraz-dating-buzz-ahead-of-us-open/articleshow/122062551.cms)
Both players face tough Wimbledon draws. Alcaraz, seeded No. 2, opens against Luca Nardi, with potential clashes against Denis Shapovalov and Lorenzo Musetti en route to a possible semifinal against Jack Draper, per *The Independent*. Raducanu, unseeded, faces wildcard Mingge Xu, with 2023 champion Marketa Vondrousova or No. 32 McCartney Kessler in the second round and Aryna Sabalenka in the third, per *BBC Sport*. Their shared Evian ambassadorship, announced June 26, adds a professional layer to their friendship, per *Daily Mail*. As Wimbledon begins, their off-court chemistry continues to captivate fans, with @TennisFanUK on X calling them “the duo we’re all watching.”
