Emma Raducanu has become a regular at Carlos Alcaraz's matches, and it would not be a surprise if the tennis player came to support the star at the Wimbledon final. This has prompted speculation that Alcaraz's girlfriend is Raducanu, but both players have attempted to downplay these rumors.
Alcaraz has declared himself single on multiple occasions. The star's Instagram page is all about tennis with a little travel mixed in.
“No, I am single,” Alcaraz told The Sunday Times' Matthew Syed during a June 2024, interview. “I am looking for someone. It can be difficult as a tennis player to meet the right person because you are travelling all the time.”
Raducanu has also attempted to set the record straight on her friendship with Alcaraz.
"We're just good friends," Raducanu told reporters on June 28, when asked if there was any romantic involvement with Alcaraz.
