Tennis fans have regularly floated playful rumors of an imaginary romance between Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu for quite a while now. After the British WTA star Emma Raducanu was spotted in the stands during Alcaraz’s semifinal match against Roberto Bautista Agut, the five-time Grand Slam champion was asked how it felt to have her there supporting him, and the Spaniard expressed his happiness.
Carlos Alcaraz Expresses Happiness About Emma Raducanu Watching Him at Queen’s
The 2025 US Open has announced a stand-alone mixed doubles event that has thrown up what many think is the most engaging mixed doubles line-up ever in a Grand Slam. The participating pairs include Stefanos Tsitsipas, who will pair up with his girlfriend Paula Badosa. Alcaraz will, for the first time, share the court with Raducanu during the event.
Just days after the pairing was revealed, the Spaniard extended his active win streak to 17 matches by booking a slot in the finals at Queen’s Club. The Spaniard defeated Roberto Bautista Agut 6-4, 6-4 to secure a position in his sixth final at a tour-level event in 2025.
Alcaraz was asked about how he felt having the British tennis star in the stands. In his response, he said that he couldn’t speak with her and that Raducanu’s visit was not something they had planned beforehand.
“I saw on social media she came up to watch my match,” the Spaniard said. “I [am] just glad. I mean, I was focused on the match. I didn’t see her (smiling). Just glad that she came to support, to watch my match. Yeah, I think it was great having her in the stands,” he said in his post-match press conference.
