"Yeah, we go back a long way, and I think we really started getting to know each other more in 2021. When I had that little run at Wimbledon, he also—I think he won in five sets in the first round or something—and then all through the US Open, he had a big breakout win against Steph in the third round," said Emma Raducanu.

She further spoke about how she kept in touch with him after their 2021 moments at the Grand Slams and emphasized his victories ever since then.

"I was always trying to join him in the next round because he was playing the day before me. Ever since, we've stayed in touch, and he's obviously done so well and kept winning. It's been amazing to see, because, you know, we were speaking and friends before either of us had won anything, you know?"

After Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz were announced as partners for the 2025 US Open mixed doubles tournament, rumors about them having a romantic relationship made the rounds all over the internet. However, shortly after this, the Brit shared a clarifying statement, saying that they are nothing more than friends.
