Carlos Alcaraz has always been refreshingly candid when it comes to questions about his personal life — especially those linking him to Britain’s Emma Raducanu. The 22-year-old Spanish superstar, now a six-time Grand Slam champion and one of tennis’s biggest global icons, recently addressed both his views on Raducanu and his own romantic situation, setting the record straight once and for all.
“We’re Just Good Friends” – Alcaraz on Emma Raducanu
For over a year, fans have speculated about a possible spark between Alcaraz and Raducanu. The rumors began when Raducanu was spotted in his player box during the 2024 Wimbledon final and intensified when the pair teamed up for mixed doubles at the 2025 US Open. Their easy chemistry and playful interviews sent social media into overdrive, with fans “shipping” the duo relentlessly.
But Alcaraz has been clear: there’s no romance — just mutual respect and friendship.
“I’ve known Emma for a really long time,” he said during a press conference before the 2025 US Open. “I have a really good relationship with her. We’re just good friends.”
He later laughed off questions about her attending his Wimbledon matches: “I don’t know if she came to see me… who knows? You have to ask her!”
Raducanu herself echoed the same sentiment, saying: “We’re just friends — people read too much into things.”
Their partnership in New York, though short-lived, showed their genuine camaraderie. Alcaraz even posted after their first-round exit: “That was fun @emmaraducanu!” — proving that, for both, it was about enjoyment, not headlines.
Alcaraz’s Honest Admission About His Love Life
Away from the court, Alcaraz has been equally open about his relationship status. In a July 2024 interview with The Sunday Times, he admitted that finding love while constantly traveling is tough.
“No, I am single. I am looking for someone,” he said. “It can be difficult as a tennis player to meet the right person because you are travelling all the time.”
When the interviewer teased that he must have plenty of admirers, Alcaraz blushed and smiled: “I hope so.”
That light-hearted answer went viral, and for months, fans debated whether the Spaniard was secretly dating anyone. But in late 2025, reports linked him to Brooks Nader, the 28-year-old Sports Illustrated model and TV personality. Nader’s sister later confirmed the relationship, while Brooks herself teased it in a TV interview: “A lady never kisses and tells — especially twice.”
The Bottom Line: Respect, Friendship, and Focus
Alcaraz’s admiration for Raducanu is clear — he’s praised her professionalism, energy, and comeback spirit after injuries, often calling her “a fighter.” But romantically, his message remains consistent: he’s focused on his tennis, and when it comes to love, he’s patient.
“Tennis first — love life’s complicated enough,” he said with a grin after the 2025 Paris Masters.
So while fans may dream of a “CarEmma” love story, Alcaraz has made his stance clear. Raducanu is a friend, nothing more — and for now, the only thing the young Spaniard is chasing is another Grand Slam trophy. 🎾❤️
