Reports suggest the pair arrived at Queens mere minutes apart on the days Emma watched Carlos play.
A source commented, “Emma and Carlos`s connection was the main topic of conversation at Queens. People believe something is happening between them because they share such a strong spark.”
The source added, “He was reportedly seen at her hotel last week. And on Thursday and Saturday, when Emma was there to support him, her car arrived just minutes after Carlos and his team. They were seen inside laughing and joking, appearing very happy and comfortable together.”
The duo is set to partner in the mixed doubles event at the US Open in August, leading some observers to suggest their on-court partnership might evolve into a romantic relationship.
The buzz wasn`t limited to tennis circles; reports indicate that media professionals from the BBC and other outlets were also discussing the potential romance. The only topic of conversation regarding relationships centered on Emma and Carlos.
Carlos Alcaraz, the Spanish star and Wimbledon favorite, commented last year on the challenges of finding a relationship as a professional tennis player.
He stated, “I am single. I am looking for someone. It can be challenging for a tennis player to meet the right person due to constant travel.”
Emma Raducanu, currently ranked 38th globally, also mentioned difficulties in finding lasting relationships, revealing her parents discouraged boyfriends while she was rising through the ranks.
She shared, “My parents were strongly against boyfriends, as it interfered with training. When I was younger, I wasn`t even allowed to hang out with my girl friends.” While this often caused resentment, she noted it ultimately made her confident and comfortable being by herself.
Fans of both players appear eager for a relationship, with comments on Emma`s recent Instagram posts frequently mentioning Carlos.

One fan lightheartedly wrote, “I’m here to read comments about Alcaraz,” while another commented, “Future Emma Alcaraz.”
As previously mentioned, they will compete together as a team in the US Open Mixed Doubles Championship in August.
Carlos spoke positively about partnering with Emma, stating, “She’s going to be the boss.” He added, “I’m super excited about it. I think it’s going to be great. It was an amazing idea for the tournament.”
Carlos also mentioned, “I know Emma since a really long time ago. I have a really good relationship with her. It’s going to be interesting.”
“We are both going to enjoy, for sure. I will try to put my doubles skill on it. We will try to win. But obviously it’s going to be really fun.”
