Rumors are like summer storms; they appear suddenly and disappear just as quickly. Recently, Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz and his fellow professional, Emma Raducanu, have been the subjects.
The two athletes first met in 2021 at several high-level tournaments, such as Wimbledon and the US Open. Since then, they have kept in touch and have supported each other on more than one occasion, both in front of and behind the cameras.
A bond that, as expected, quickly caught the attention of media outlets around the world. So much so that portals like the German Bunte have even claimed that there could be something more than a beautiful friendship between Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu.
Since then, both athletes have been forced to deal with all these rumors, information they have publicly denied whenever they've had the chance.
In fact, at a press conference before Wimbledon, Emma Raducanu was asked directly about her supposed romantic relationship with Carlos Alcaraz. The young woman had no problem answering the question.
"We're just good friends," the British tennis player said with a laugh. "I'm glad the internet is having fun and that we're providing some entertainment for everyone," she added, making all the reporters laugh.
Now, British public television has revealed the whole truth about the special bond that exists between Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz. However, unlike everything that's been said, it's become clear that there's only a strong friendship between them.
They clear up all doubts about the alleged romance between Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu
These rumors intensified after it was announced that Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu will play mixed doubles at the US Open 2025. Now, British television has cleared up all these doubts.
During a joint appearance for the BBC, both tennis players spoke about their upcoming tennis match together. At that moment, the Murcian took the opportunity to make a funny joke.
Looking at the camera, Carlos Alcaraz stated that, on the court, Emma Raducanu "is the boss," referring to his future doubles partner. In addition, he had no qualms about revealing that their relationship is very good and fun.
Meanwhile, the reporter from the aforementioned television channel asked the young woman what question she would ask her partner if she could. After a brief reflection, the tennis player wanted to know "how much of the court he can cover in New York."
A question that Carlos Alcaraz quickly answered: "I'll just serve... I'm going to step aside, you know." "I'll let her play, she'll cover the court. I'll do what she wants me to do," he added.
