EMMA RADUCANU and Carlos Alcaraz are set to link up once again.
The tennis dream team partnered up for the US Open mixed doubles event in New York last month.
And though they lost their first match to Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula, the pair seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves.
They both took to Instagram with doting posts of them smiling and laughing together on the court.
Raducanu and Alcaraz – both US Open champions – have been the hot talking point of tennis in recent months amid rumours they may be dating.
Emma, 22, watched the Spaniard, 22, on his way to winning Queen’s and then took her seat on Centre Court to catch him in action at Wimbledon.
The duo – dubbed by some adoring fans as ‘Raducarlos’ – took part in an Evian photoshoot together and even had a series of cosy days out – and had “such a spark”.
But despite the blossoming chemistry between the pair on and off the court, they insist they are simply good friends.
However, the two Nike athletes will appear in public again later in the year.
Although it does not seem as though they are getting another chance to play mixed doubles together just yet.
Raducanu, who like Alcaraz has taken up golf, shared a post on Instagram from the Prudential Center announcing an exhibition event.
She captioned the story: “New Jersey, see you December 7.”
The British star will face Wimbledon and US Open finalist Amanda Anisimova while Alcaraz takes on American Frances Tiafoe – both matches being the best of three sets.
Tickets for ‘A Raquet at The Rock’ start from $81.60 [£60].
But the most expensive courtside seat will set fans back a whopping $1,058.45 [£781].
By then, Alcaraz’s hair will have grown out.
The world No1 accidentally buzzed his locks off before the US Open singles event got underway – although Raducanu admitted he “owned” the shaven look.
His lid had started to return by the time he thumped Jannik Sinner in Sunday’s final to lift his sixth Grand Slam.
Then amid the celebrations, the popular two-time Wimbledon king opted to dye it blonde in a major shake-up.
