The 2024 US Open cracked open almost every emotion by the time it advanced to the semi-finals. The love angle was seen leaving the stage with Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa‘s exit, new speculations are flowing in with Jack Draper‘s recent achievement. As the Briton managed to secure a slot in the semi-finals, he was welcomed not only with applause but with speculations of a relationship between him and compatriot Emma Raducanu.

Draper recently secured a slot in the semi-finals of the US Open, for the first time in his career. The Briton took down Alex De Minaur in a quarter-final that ended in straight sets, 6-3, 7-5, 6-2. Although the young contender paved his way through challenging rivals, the fact that he didn’t allow enough space for his rivals glorified his position with a tremendous record.

In a total of 5 matches played so far, the 22-year-old didn’t even lose a single set. Although the record stands to be rare, the last person who managed to hit this was also a Briton. The WTA star initiated her run as a qualifier and still managed to travel a long road without even giving out on a single set throughout the tournament. This not only made her name known to the world but also added several records to her portfolio.

Although her run was short-lived this year, the former champion was still able to steal the show because of her charm. While the fans were speculating an undisclosed bond with Carlos Alcaraz earlier, the Spaniard was quick enough to waive it off with a bright smile. While that chapter wasn’t fully closed by now, another one started to spark as the discussions now involve Draper’s name with her.

“Signs everywhere” Fans speculate a budding relationship between Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu

US Open’s official X account recently shared a post in which Jack Draper was seen posing alongside former champion Emma Raducanu. While the post was meant to drop update of a record that Draper matched with her compatriot, fans took it to a different direction.

A fan indirectly appreciated the aura that the speculated couple gave alongside. “They look like on a prom,” they wrote. The picture showed Draper dressed in an elegant suit while Emma stood alongside in a pretty dress. The duo gave perfect vibes of a college couple headed for a romantic dance as they posed together. 

Another fan, complimenting the looks they gave collectively, wrote, “Ooo they do look good together.” Both Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu have been approached for modeling shoots, and Draper has posed in front of the camera many times. In fact, he even came under controversy when he said how he likes to be in front of the camera. With both tennis stars having a knack for fashion, they will likely look sharp and complement each other’s appearance rather well.

Another fan tried to sum up the story of Draper and Raducanu in a short phrase. “Hahaha signs, signs everywhere,” they commented. When Raducanu was injured in 2023 and out for eight months, the tennis world had doubts about her. However, Draper was firm that “When she’s fit, she’s an incredible player.” He even claimed Raducanu serves as an inspiration for many.

“They would make a beautiful couple” another fan wrote, expressing his specific desire to see them together. Both Draper and Raducanu have a worldwide fan base, and have a bond that goes as far back as their junior playing days. With a friendship that continues to grow and Draper recreating Raducanu’s record, the ship grows stronger.

A fan, reflecting on Draper’s chances to be the dark horse at the ongoing event, asked if “He bagging Emma too?” The Briton has made it to the semi-finals at the US Open without losing any sets. His form has been astounding in this run, but he will face Jannik Sinner next, who is akin to an unstoppable force.

With these and several other comments on a similar note, the fans made it clear that they wish to see the two tennis stars together. Although there hasn’t been any confirmation or even a discussion recorded from any of the two involved stars, the debate still revolves around rumors.
