Emma Raducanu turned heads at Wimbledon 2025 with her presence in the stands while watching Carlos Alcaraz's victory over Andrey Rublev, fuelling the romance rumours even more. On Sunday night, broadcast images showed the 22-year-old enjoying the match alongside her coach, Mark Petchey, inside Centre Court. As the pictures come up on social media, it has left fans speculating about the same.
The images have surfaced amid Raducanu's repeated denial of having a romantic relationship with reigning Wimbledon champion Alcaraz. Not only that, but just ahead of the tournament, she laughed and said, "I'm glad the internet is having fun," insisting that they are just good friends, reported Express UK.
But the fans and social media users are not totally convinced by the statement, especially after the 2021 US Open champion at another Alcaraz match. Emma Raducanu spotted at Centre Court during Alcaraz's Wimbledon match
The former US Open champion was spotted, engrossed in the play with coach Mark Petchey by her side in the Centre Court. Her presence at another Alcaraz match has sparked social media buzz, despite her repeated attempts to brush off the relationship rumours with Alcaraz.

Trust in Riddle: Fritz credits girlfriend after Wimbledon win sets up semifinal vs. Alcaraz
LONDON (AP) — Morgan knows best, apparently. Taylor Fritz thought the motivational note he wrote to himself after losing at Wimbledon four years ago would stay private. His girlfriend, influencer Morgan Riddle, later shared it on social media. "That note was never supposed to be public,' a smiling Fritz said after his 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4) win over Karen Khachanov set up a semifinal meeting with two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. Fritz had written to himself in the note that 'nobody in the whole world is underachieving harder than you' and urged himself to get his act together. Not only does Fritz forgive Riddle, he also credits her for having such a big impact on him rising to No. 5 in the world rankings in pursuit of his first Grand Slam title. 'There's been a pretty constant results-and-ranking rise since we've been together,' Fritz said. "I think I would have to say she's been a big help to me just kind of keeping me focused, having someone who cares and just pushes you to just do better and do the right things, be healthier. "Almost like kind of just mother me in a way," he added, chuckling to himself, 'with like, the diet and going to sleep on time.' A smiling Fritz later added: 'Yeah, that maybe wasn't the best choice of words.' The 27-year-old American, who was the runner-up at last year's U.S. Open, didn't face a break point in the first two sets against No. 17 Khachanov, who rebounded in the third set. It was 4-all in the fourth-set tiebreaker before Fritz claimed the final three points on Court No. 1. It's the first time Fritz has reached the last four at Wimbledon. He's won two grass-court titles this season — Stuttgart and Eastbourne — and was happy he wouldn't be facing Alcaraz on clay, which would be 'an absolute nightmare.' 'Grass is very much so an equalizer. It can be an equalizer. So trust in how I'm playing,' he said. 'I truly know the way that I played the first two sets today, there's not much any opponent on the other side can do.' The second-seeded Alcaraz is within sight of a Wimbledon three-peat. He extended his winning streak to 23 matches this season by beating Cameron Norrie 6-2, 6-3, 6-3 on Centre Court. Alcaraz, who has beaten Novak Djokovic in the past two finals at the All England Club, faced only five break points and saved all of them. He wants to hit some other greens, though, before he faces Fritz 'For sure I'm going to play some golf, just to switch up my mind a little bit,' Alcaraz said The 22-year-old Spaniard has been playing golf with Andy Murray during his Wimbledon run. This time, his opponent could be actor Tom Holland, whom he had run into earlier. 'I would love to play against him in the golf course. For me it would be such an honor. I will try to set it up in these two days that I will have much time to do it. So let's see if he will be available, and we'll tee it up.'

Wimbledon 2025: Imperious Alcaraz routs Norrie to reach semifinals
LONDON: Carlos Alcaraz swept into the Wimbledon semi-finals for a third successive year as the defending champion demolished Britain's Cameron Norrie in a Centre Court masterclass on Tuesday. Alcaraz needed just 99 minutes to thrash Norrie 6-2, 6-3, 6-3 in his most commanding performance in this year's tournament. The Spanish second seed dropped four sets in a series of scrappy displays during his run to the last eight. But Alcaraz was back to his imperious best in the quarter-finals, blasting 39 winners to set up a last four clash with American fifth seed Taylor Fritz. "To be able to play another semi-final here at Wimbledon is super-special," Alcaraz said. It's going to be great. I'm really happy with the way I played against a really difficult player," he added. With world number one Jannik Sinner struggling with an elbow injury after trailing by two sets in the fourth round before his opponent Grigor Dimitrov was forced to retire, Alcaraz looks like the title favourite heading into the closing stages of the tournament. Alcaraz is on a career-best 23 match winning run since losing to Holger Rune in the Barcelona final in April -- a superb streak which has brought him titles at the French Open, the Rome Masters and Monte Carlo. The Spaniard, who vanquished Novak Djokovic in the last two Wimbledon finals, has won 34 of his 37 Tour-level matches on grass, while his last defeat at the All England Club came against Sinner in the fourth round in 2022. "Taylor is playing great. The grass season has been really successful for him so far with two titles and a semi-final here," Alcaraz said. "I have to be ready for that battle. I will try to play the same level as today. I will rest up a little bit and enjoy the time with my team and my family. For sure I'm going to play some golf to switch off my mind a little bit," he added. Alcaraz is only the second Spanish man to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals on at least three occasions after Rafael Nadal, who made eight appearances in the last four. The five-time Grand Slam champion is aiming to become the fifth man to win Wimbledon in three consecutive years in the Open era afer Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Djokovic. Alcaraz, who will be making his eighth Grand Slam semi-final appearance, is also bidding to become the second-youngest player in the Open era, after Borg, to win six major men's singles titles. Alcaraz wasted little time asserting his dominance with breaks in the third and fifth games of a one-sided opening set. The 22-year-old was equally commanding in the second set as the world number 61 struggled to stem the tide. Alcaraz was in total control and the third set followed the same pattern, with the decisive break coming in the sixth game as he sealed his victory in ruthless fashion.

Following his win, the American admitted that he didn't expect the game to change drastically and had to fight hard in the fourth set to regain control."I've never really had the match change like that so drastically where I felt so in control, playing great, serving great. I didn't feel like my serve was in danger, I felt like I was putting a lot of pressure on his serve. I felt like I couldn't miss and then, out of nowhere, I just started making a ton of mistakes. So I really just had to fight to get that break back in the fourth and kind of just get the match back to neutral,' said Fritz during his on-court after having a contrasting path into the quarterfinals, Alcaraz and Fritz are set to fight for a place in the final as they lock horns in the semi-final on Friday, July 11.- EndsMust Watch
