Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz were recently seen interacting in Malaga, where they are representing their countries in the Billie Jean King Cup and Davis Cup, respectively. A photo of the pair, with Alcaraz in the frame, was posted online, but when Raducanu shared the image, she cropped Alcaraz out, leaving fans amused.

Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz, two of tennis’s brightest young stars, recently found themselves at the center of an amusing social media moment. During what seemed to be a lighthearted off-court interaction, Raducanu was spotted throwing what appeared to be a small American football while Alcaraz passed by in the background.

The pair briefly exchanged words in motion, and a photo from this moment made rounds on social media as seen below.

However, when Raducanu shared the image on her Instagram story, Alcaraz was notably cropped out—despite his full presence being visible in a version above.
