Emma Raducanu has left tennis fans amused by posting some pictures with friends from her Mexico getaway.
Raducanu has been a notable absentee on the tennis courts of late, having recently undergone surgeries on her hands and her ankle. While in recovery, the British tennis player recently traveled to Mexico to attend Dior’s 2024 Cruise fashion show.
Raducanu is Dior’s global fashion and beauty ambassador, and she was dressed to the nines as she graced the red carpet in a stunning black ensemble. The 20-year-old was also spotted donning casts on her hand and her ankle.
Raducanu later shared some highlights from her trip on social media. Some of the pictures included the Brit's friends, who gave her company during the trip.
One image in particular caught tennis fans’ attention. Emma Raducanu, who has been hush-hush about the details of her personal life, was captured in a frame with Carlo Agostinelli, with the duo looking into each other’s eyes.
Agostinelli also shared a few pictures with the tennis player on his social media.
As per reports, Carlo Agostinelli is the son of Mathilde Favier – the head of public relations at Dior. He is also a collegiate soccer player.
While Emma Raducanu and Carlo Agostinelli have made no mention of their relationship status, tennis fans were quick to jump to hilarious conclusions. Many of them shared their sentiments about a possible relationship between the two.
“At least raducanation can breathe a sigh of relief coz she is never gonna get dropped by dior now,” one fan joked.
Numerous fans comically expressed concern about the well-being of Carlos Alcaraz and Jack Draper, who have been linked to Raducanu in the past based on mere speculation.
“Has anyone checked on Carlos and Jack yet?” one fan wondered.
Here are a few more reactions from tennis fans:
Emma Raducanu set to miss the 2023 summer tournaments
Emma Raducanu has registered five wins against five losses so far this season. Three of her five victories came in Indian Wells, where Raducanu staged an impressive run to make the fourth round before losing against Iga Swiatek.
The 2021 US Open champion was last seen in the opening round of the Stuttgart Open in April, where she faced a defeat at the hands of Jelena Ostapenko. Owing to her poor run of form, Emma Raducanu has crashed out of the world’s Top 100.
The former World No. 10, who has undergone three medical procedures since, will skip the summer tournaments - including the French Open and Wimbledon.
"I'm disappointed to share that I will be out for the next few months," Emma Raducanu said last month. "It pains me that I will miss the summer events and I tried to down play the issues so I thank all my fans who continued to support me when you did not know the facts."
Raducanu has commenced her rehab journey but hasn’t set a specific date for her comeback.
