After US Open Exit, Raducanu’s Post With Benjamin Heynold Draws New Speculation

No relationship is confirmed despite heavy engagement on the post following prior denials about rumors involving Carlos Alcaraz.

Overview

  • The Instagram carousel was posted soon after Raducanu’s third-round defeat to Elena Rybakina in straight sets at the US Open.
  • Reports identified the man in the photos as Benjamin Heynold, 24, a longtime friend and former junior teammate who keeps a low public profile.
