In a move that has sent shockwaves through the tennis world, British tennis star Emma Raducanu and Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz are set to join forces for the US Open mixed doubles tournament. The announcement has generated immense excitement among fans, with many eagerly awaiting the duo’s debut.
Recently, Raducanu made a surprise visit to Alcaraz’s semifinal match at the Queen’s Club Championship, where he dominated his compatriot Robert Bautista Agut 6-4, 6-4. The World No. 2’s impressive performance was a testament to his current 17-match win streak, the highest of his young career. Raducanu, who had a positive start to her grass swing, reaching the semifinals in Queen’s, is slated to return to action in Eastbourne before entering Wimbledon.
In a post-match press conference, Alcaraz humorously claimed that Raducanu would be the "boss" in their pairing, stating, "She’s gonna be the boss. Yeah, I mean, US Open came to us and gave us opportunities to play mixed doubles. I’m super excited about it. I think it’s going to be great. It was an amazing idea for the tournament." Alcaraz also revealed that he made the first move, asking Raducanu to join him at the US Open, and joked that she "took a while" to respond to his proposal.
The US Open mixed doubles tournament is set to undergo significant changes, with several high-ranked singles stars teaming up, including Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud, Elena Rybakina and Taylor Fritz, and Aryna Sabalenka and Grigor Dimitrov. The addition of Raducanu and Alcaraz to the mix is expected to bring an extra layer of excitement to the event.
