Emma Raducanu gives new insight into her lovelife amid Carlos Alcaraz romance rumours
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) 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. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Emma Raducanu made a cheeky comment about 'heartbreaks' Credit: PA 5 The British tennis stay played down suggestions of a romance with Carlos Alcaraz Credit: Getty 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. However, after Wednesday's emphatic Centre Court victory over Marketa Vondrousova, she joked she had never been heartbroken. READ MORE ON EMMA RADUCANU 40 LOVE-TRIANGLE? Inside the world of 'lone wolf' Emma Raducanu & her strict dating rules Among the VIPs in the Royal Box for the match was Olivia Rodrigo, fresh from her Glastonbury headline set. Raducanu claimed she did not know who was in the posh seats when she spoke in her on-court interview, insisting she was so focused on her match to notice. When speaking to the BBC, though, 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. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS 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." Carlos Alcaraz claims he 'will do whatever she wants me to do' in revealing Emma Raducanu interview after Wimbledon win 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. 5 Wimbledon 2025 LIVE - follow all the latest scores and updates from a thrilling fortnight at SW19 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." 5 Olivia Rodrigo watched Raducanu in action on Centre Court Credit: Getty

‘Unholy' row breaks out between Charles' vicar and choirmaster with King asked to broker peace deal
The bitter fallout has been likened to an episode of 'The Vicar of Dibley' KEEP PSALM AND CARRY ON KEEP PSALM AND CARRY ON 'Unholy' row breaks out between Charles' vicar and choirmaster with King asked to broker peace deal Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE King has been asked to mediate a row at his local church between the vicar and choirmaster. The bitter argument is said to be over the future of the choir at the Sandringham landmark. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 King Charles has been asked to intervene in a row at a church in Sandringham Credit: Getty 4 The row is said to be over the future of the choir at the parish church of St Mary Magdalene Credit: Alan Keith Beastall Rev Canon Paul Williams, the Domestic Chaplain to the King, is said to want to modernise — including getting a social media account for the choir at St Mary Magdalene Church. But director of music Dr Claire Stewart is said to have responded to a report into her role with a 28-page grievance dossier. King Charles, who worships at the church near his Norfolk estate, has been made aware of the row. Several weeks ago, he made a point of staying behind after a service to chat to parishioners. The Bishop of Norwich is said to have been inundated with letters over the simmering row. This month, local councillor Lord Greville Howard, Baron Greville of Rising, held a meeting with church leaders in a bid to sort out the mess. Meanwhile, numbers in the 'tight knit' choir at Sunday services and practices have dwindled. A source said yesterday: 'It feels like an episode of Vicar of Dibley. 'But it's turning into an unholy row and it's starting to get very bitter and damaging. 'It is overshadowing what should be a harmonious parish church on the King's royal estate and heads need to be banged together.' End of an era as King Charles AXES royal train after 150 years as cost of keeping iconic vehicle going hits £1.2m a year Another source said: 'The King has been made aware that there is an issue between the vicar and choirmaster.' Dr Stewart has been director of music at the church for 12 years. Parishioners say she is 'hugely adored' and has been put under a lot of pressure. Rev Williams joined in 2023 after moving from Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucs. 4 Rev Canon Paul Williams, the Domestic Chaplain to the King, is said to want to modernise the church's choir Credit: Times Media Ltd
