• At a pre-Wimbledon press conference on June 28, Raducanu smiled and said “We’re just good friends” when asked about dating Carlos Alcaraz.
• Their US Open mixed doubles partnership for August was confirmed earlier this month and remains unchanged.
• The pair’s roles as global ambassadors for Evian and appearances at Queen’s Club and Eastbourne fuelled the dating conjecture.
• American player Danielle Collins quipped on social media that Raducanu was a “heartbreaker” after the public denial.
• Raducanu and Alcaraz have been close friends since first bonding at Wimbledon in 2021, a foundation they say strengthens their on-court collaboration.
