We go back a long way and I think we both started getting to know each other a lot more in 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;When I had that little run at Wimbledon, I think he won in five sets in the first round or something. And then all through the US Open, he had a big breakout win against Stef [Tsitsipas] in the third round but I was always trying to, like, join him in the next round because he was playing the day before me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;Ever since, we&#8217;ve stayed in touch and he&#8217;s done so well since and continued winning.

In her interview with the BBC, you can see that her face lights up and her pupils dilate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;You can tell when her emotion shifts from speaking about general tennis to when she gets asked the question about what&#8217;s being said on the internet having fun on speculation. When she gets asked about the rumours, she shifts emotion because she starts to look down and left.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;Looking up is remembering general things and pictures as you&#8217;re trying to think, whereas when people look down and left, she&#8217;s accessing something called internal auditory dialogue. She goes from instantaneously answering to considering what she&#8217;s about to say very carefully. I&#8217;m not saying there&#8217;s a full-blown relationship going on but there&#8217;s one of two things.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;Either they&#8217;re very close and there could be something there down the line or it&#8217;s wishful thinking on her part, because there&#8217;s something that causes that emotional shift and it happens at the same time that she talks about general tennis, to then talking about him and their relationship.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/0_HSBC-Championships-Day-Thirteen.jpg\" alt=\"Carlos Alcaraz (ESP) celebrates after he wins his men's singles semi final match against Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP)  at The Queen's Club on June 21, 2025 in London, England\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>Alcaraz can become the first player since Roger Federer to win three straight Wimbledon titles(Image: CameraSport via Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s anything yet, so it could be a close friendship that could allude to something in the future, or she really loves the idea of those two being an item.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">As Wimbledon is set to begin this weekend, Alcaraz had the perfect warm-up by capturing victory at Queen&#8217;s on Sunday, defeating Jiri Lehecka in the final to claim his fifth title of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">On the other hand, Raducanu&#8217;s preparations were cut short as she was knocked out in the second round of the Lexus Eastbourne Open by Australian starlet Maya Joint on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Alcaraz has won the last two majors at the All England Club and could become the first men&#8217;s player since Roger Federer to claim three straight Wimbledon titles, which would take his Grand Slam tally to six.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emma Raducanu is set to team up with Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz in the US Open mixed doubles&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":216031,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4105],"tags":[6359,1070,79,1068,16,15,5068],"class_list":{"0":"post-216030","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-carlos-alcaraz","9":"tag-emma-raducanu","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tennis","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-wimbledon"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114750027801845030","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=216030"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216030\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/216031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=216030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=216030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=216030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
