EMMA RADUCANU gave fresh insight into her lovelife after the Carlos Alcaraz romance rumours.
Raducanu and Alcaraz announced they have teamed up on the court for the US Open mixed doubles event in New York.
But there have been suggestions the duo are linking up off it, too, especially after she watched the Spaniard in action at Queen’s.
A source exclusively revealed to SunSport the pair had a ‘spark’ and arrived at Queen’s within minutes of each other amid suggestions of spending cosy days together.
But Raducanu played down their possible relationship by giggling “we’re just good friends” before Wimbledon started.
And the former US Open champions was again talking about her lovelife this week.

Among the VIPs in the Royal Box for her second round match against Marketa Vondrousova was Olivia Rodrigo, fresh from her Glastonbury headline set.
Raducanu claimed she did not know who was in the posh seats on Centre Court when she spoke in her on-court interview, insisting she was so focused on her match to notice.
Speaking to the BBC, she confessed she had spotted golfer Tommy Fleetwood.
But when told American singer-songwriter Rodrigo was in the crowd, Raducanu came back with a quick and cheeky response.
The Brit, relaxed after booking her third-round date with world No1 Aryna Sabalenka, quipped: “She’s got some great heartbreak songs.
“If you’re ever going through it, she’s the one.”
The BBC interviewer replied: “Thanks for the advice.”
Then the tennis ace laughed: “I wouldn’t know though, of course not.”
Raducanu – who was told she was banned from having a boyfriend by her parents growing up – previously went out with billionaire heir Carlo Agostinelli, a former Harrow School head boy.
Ex-Tottenham academy footballer Carlo is the son of tycoon Robert Agostinelli.
The couple got together in May 2023 and were arm-in-arm at Paris Fashion Week as well as enjoying luxury holidays together in Greece and Mexico.
But after they split up, they unfollowed each other on social media.
On her relationship with Alcaraz and how they became friends, Raducanu said: “I’ve known him for years.
“Wimbledon 2021 was the first time I started getting to know him, and I had a good run there and then also again in the US Open in 2021.
“We have a good relationship still. He’s obviously overtaken me a lot, but it’s nice that we have that from a while ago.
“I think for all of us, we really kind of value those connections that we had from when we were young because when you become a bit more known or a bit more successful, you just find yourself reverting back to people you knew from a young age because you’re like, that’s a real genuine connection.
“Because it becomes very busy and you have a lot more friends but the ones that you’ve known for a long time mean a lot more to you.”
