The whole Wimbledon crowd rejoiced as Carlos Alcaraz won the championship point. Even Novak Djokovic had a smile on his face as he congratulated the youngster for his impeccable title defense. However, it seems the media had their gaze stuck to one particular person in the crowd. No, not the ever-elegant Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, but the British tennis star, Emma Raducanu. And when the rumor started doing rounds of their link, we had a shy Alcaraz and excited fans to make this match happen!

There are only a few moments that made Alcaraz blush at Wimbledon. The first one was when he was asked about the dance with Barbora Krejcikova at the champion’s dinner. And second was during his post-title win interview, as a curious journalist questioned him whether Raducanu was there to see him or the final. The ever-so-hot and confident Alcaraz was taken aback as he blushed at the question and strategically asked the journalist to ask this from Raducanu itself. The journalist José Morgado shared the snippet from the interview on his official X account. With the caption:

But this was all that the fans needed. Though nobody knows anything about the rumour mill that started with media’s question, they, ahem, certainly put the thought in Alcaraz’s mind. And the moment tennis fans got whiff of a possibility of a budding romance, they were ready to push the couple towards it.

Tennis fans rally behind the possibility of a new couple in the circuit: Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu

It’s normal for tennis stars to watch another player take the court. And more so when it’s time for the Wimbledon final and two greats are ready to clash for the title. Who would want to miss this? Certainly not Raducanu! Despite crashing out early in the tournament, it was a lucky Wimbledon final for the Briton! Not only was her wish to meet the HRH, Princess Kate was fulfilled as she interacted with her and Princess Charlotte before the finals. But she got the watch, the expensive and a high-stakes match! But could her presence mean something else, too?

Maybe for tennis fans, as they think that the Briton is the love interest of Alcaraz. And push him to, “Shoot your shot bro 😂😊😊.” Moreover, the rumor mill began with the media, and tennis fans were surprised as their thoughts were voiced at a high table: his post-win interview. And this fan expressed surprise, and maybe some gratitude to the media for questioning Alcaraz about this. He said, “No way even the media is shipping Carlos Alcaraz and Emma 😭”

The tennis circuit is budding with power couples. Alcaraz’s arch-nemesis, Jannik Sinner, is with the Russian phenom, Anna Kalinskaya, while Alex de Minaur is dating Katie Boulter, being the recent additions. There’s also Gael Mofils and Elina Svitolina and Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas, to name a few.

And when Alacarz responded with a shy smile as he brushed off the discussion with, “I don’t know if she came to watch the final or to watch me. You have to ask her…” This tennis fan questioned, “Why is he shy away from the discussion”

However, many of us would know that denial is the first stage of falling in love. And some tennis fans hit a bull’s eye, as they reacted with, “He’s in love 😭.” Though, the question still stands: is he really in love with the Briton? Maybe, maybe not! But the message has been received very well, and Alcaraz’s brain has registered this thought of the tennis crowd.

Now everyone has to wait and watch whether he would react to the new found intentions. Or he has surpassed them all and is already together. However, there could be one more case. He may put a wet blanket on everyone’s thoughts and focus on his tennis alone!
