Emma Raducanu has left the stage of denial. While she hasn’t made any direct statement, her adorable responses dropped a green signal for her fans. Mesmerized by Carlos Alcaraz’s triumph in Wimbledon, Raducanu channeled a similar energy for the US Open. Following her recent remark, fans can’t help but gush over the Briton’s admiration for the Spaniard. Is a new love story brewing between them?

Tennis Channel shared a clip on their official Instagram profile where ATP and WTA stars like Frances Tiafoe, Paula Badosa, Victoria Azarenka, Ons Jabeur, and others shared their favorite picks for the 2024 US Open winner. While their choices are surprising, Raducanu did not have to think much to take Alcaraz’s name. “The way the last year’s gone, I will have to say Carlos Alcaraz. He is playing very good tennis.” Raducanu’s response delighted her followers fueling the speculation of a romantic relationship between her and the Wimbledon champion.

It all started when Raducanu attended Alcaraz’s 2024 Wimbledon finals against Novak Djokovic. Spotting her in the gallery, many people thought this might be the beginning of another tennis love story. However, Alcaraz nullified the speculation mentioning that the Briton might have attended the match because it happened in her home town.

“I don’t know. I guess a lot of people came to see the final. Novak and I we always play a spectacular match, it’s a beautiful match to see. And she is from here, so I imagine that she wanted to come and see it. If there was a Grand Slam in Murcia, I would watch the finals 100 per cent. I don’t know if she came to the finals or if she came to see me. Who knows? You have to question her, but I hope she enjoyed the final,” Alcaraz said to an interviewer.

Despite his denial, fans couldn’t get over any rumors. On the other hand, the Briton might have expressed her liking towards Alcaraz as purely professional, but her actions say otherwise. Ahead of the US Open, her response fuelled her link-up rumor with the Spaniard and fans can’t keep calm about it.

Delighted fans can’t help but put a seal on Alcaraz-Raducanu dating rumors

Since Raducanu mentioned Alcaraz as her favorite, fans started commenting on the post expressing their happiness. “Raducanu for Carlos 🫠👀😍❤️, “ wrote a fan. Raducanu’s recent actions only fueled her romantic inclination for the Spaniard ATP star.

For example. this British player didn’t participate in Toronto and Cincinnati to focus on the upcoming US Open. However, before the American Grand Slam, Raducanu visited New York’s Nike store and received a customized bag. While the story was quite usual, Raducanu’s followers were surprised when they noticed the bag had “Emmita” spray painted, the Spanish version of the Briton’s name. Now, artist Ryan Humphrey cleared the air on Instagram and mentioned that he was requested especially by the 21-year-old to do so, which fuelled Raducau’s dating rumors with Alcaraz.

Another fan commented, “Let’s go Carlos, Emma knows 🥰🥰” It is not just Raducanu who fuelled the linkup rumor, Alacarz also had his parts in it. When the Briton withdrew from her mixed doubles with Andy Murray at 2024 Wimbledon, Alcaraz sympathized with her. “It’s a difficult situation. She said she was going to play mixed doubles with Andy in the last Wimbledon of his career. But obviously she’s young. I’m sure she didn’t want to pull out of the mixed doubles. She had her reasons to do it,” he said hinting at his soft corner for the former US Open champion.

While fans spoke about the response of other players, the majority stuck with Raducanu’s response. “Emma and Carlos had this romance from day one 😏” wrote a fan. The rumors of a romance between the two have been brewing since Raducanu fell for a fake Alcaraz account. As the account wished her a speedy recovery, Raducanu wrote, “@carlosalcaraz ‘yours’ :).” She eventually deleted the tweet, but it was too late, the fires of romance had been flamed. .

“Emma choose @carlitosalcarazz ❤️”, wrote a fan. Recently Raducanu shared her vacation photos on her Instagram profile and fans noticed Alcaraz liked the post. As soon as they witnessed it, fans returned to their old speculation. They hope the Raducanu-Alcaraz ship takes off soon and sails off with flying colors. The majority of comments on the thread highlighted fans’ desperate wish to see Raducanu with Alcaraz. “Emma 💘 Carlos” wrote a fan, whose simple yet to-the-point comment hinted that fans won’t get over this speculation soon.

Raducanu might or might not date Alcaraz but her response shows her admiration for the Wimbledon champion’s tennis skills. While their fans want them to see together they should also respect the players’ opinions if they wish to keep their personal life away from the media.
