Eugenie Bouchard gives honest reaction to Carlos Alcaraz-Emma Raducanu craze after Brit supports Spaniard at Queen’s Club
On June 22, 2025, former world No. 5 Eugenie Bouchard shared a candid reaction to the growing excitement surrounding Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu’s partnership after Raducanu was spotted cheering for Alcaraz during his 6-4, 6-4 semifinal win over Roberto Bautista Agut at the Queen’s Club Championships, per Sportskeeda. Bouchard commented on Tennis TV’s X post, which featured Raducanu smiling in the stands with the caption, “@emmaraducanu in the house watch her new @usopen doubles partner👀,” writing, “So cute 😍,” per Sportskeeda. Her lighthearted response added to the hype around the “Alcaranu” duo, set to compete in the US Open’s revamped mixed doubles event on August 19-20, 2025, per Daily Mail.
The buzz intensified as some fans speculated about a romantic connection, though others on X, like @TennisFanaticUK, dismissed it as “nonsense narrative,” per Sportskeeda. Alcaraz, unaware of Raducanu’s presence until seeing social media, expressed gratitude, saying, “I’m just glad she came to support,” and voiced interest in watching her matches if his schedule allows, per Tennis365. Bouchard, who has long supported Raducanu’s resilience, notably backed her during her 2023 injury struggles, stating, “She’ll be totally fine,” per Express. Raducanu, managing a back injury, is preparing for Eastbourne, while Alcaraz, fresh off his Queen’s title, is a Wimbledon favorite, per LTA.
