During the post-match press conference following his semifinal victory over Agut, Alcaraz was asked whether he planned to attend Raducanu’s matches ahead of their mixed doubles matches at the 2025 US Open.
In response, the Spaniard expressed that he would love to attend one of Raducanu’s matches at the 2025 Eastbourne Open or the Wimbledon Championships. However, he noted that he would need to check his schedule, as he has his own practice sessions and matches to prepare for. Alcaraz added that he has been following the Brit’s matches on television, but watching her live could be “fun.”
“Well, it depends on the schedule, obviously. I have practices. I have matches. Yeah, I would love to, yeah, if I have time, if, you know, if everything — if I’m at the club or I don’t have anything else to do, yeah, I would love to come and watch her. I’m watching her matches from the TV every time that I can. So watching her in real could be fun,” Alcaraz said.
Raducanu most recently concluded her campaign at the 2025 Queen’s Club Championships, where she reached the quarterfinals before being defeated by Zheng Qinwen.
