Emma Raducanu giggles as she addresses Carlos Alcaraz relationship ahead of Wimbledon
The pair have been the talk of the internet since their US Open announcement earlier this month COURT IN A STORM Emma Raducanu giggles as she addresses Carlos Alcaraz relationship ahead of Wimbledon Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EMMA RADUCANU has put any rumours of a relationship with Carlos Alcaraz to bed. Raducanu and Alcaraz, both 22, have been subject to swirling rumours about a potential romance after they announced they would be teaming up as doubles partners for the US Open later this summer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Emma Raducanu has cleared up rumours about her relationship with Carlos Alcaraz Credit: PA 3 Raducanu and Alcaraz have announced they will be teaming up as doubles partners for the US Open later this summer Credit: Getty The pair will team up at the Billie Jean King Tennis Centre in August as they both look to add a doubles success to their US Open singles titles. Rumours on social media have suggested that the duo's relationship goes further than the court this week, but Raducanu has been quick to shut down the chatter. When asked about it in her pre-Wimbledon press conference, the British star said while giggling: "We're just good friends". Raducanu is jumping at the idea of teaming up with the World No2, who is hot off the heels of winning the French Open earlier this month.

"But for me, when he asked me, I was going to say yes, I just had to kind of go through the formality of asking my coach, so I didn't just make the decision." On how they became friends, Raducanu added: "I've known him for years. "And actually in Wimbledon 2021 it was like kind of 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. 3 Rumours have begun to swirl about the dynamic between Alcaraz and Raducanu Credit: Getty "And I remember he was always playing the day before me and I was playing like the second day of the round. "And I would see him win and then I would have motivation to win and get myself into that position too." Further lifting the lid on her connection with Alcaraz, Raducanu went on: "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." Both Raducanu and Alcaraz will have their full focus on Wimbledon for now, with first-round action getting underway at the All England Club on Monday. Raducanu will open her account with a clash against fellow Brit, Mingge Xu. While Alcaraz will launch his defence of his 2024 title against Italian Fabio Fognini.

Darts legend Phil Taylor admits new job ‘like an apprenticeship' and he feels ‘like a fish out of water'
PHIL YOUR BOOTS Darts legend Phil Taylor admits new job 'like an apprenticeship' and he feels 'like a fish out of water' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PHIL TAYLOR has admitted he feels like a "fish out of water" in his new job as a presenter. The record-holding 16-time world champion announced his official retirement from darts in May, after playing on the senior circuit since 2018. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Phil Taylor has admitted he feels like a "fish out of water" in his new job as a presenter Credit: Rex The Power is considered the greatest player to set foot on the oche, also winning 87 major PDC titles and 16 World Matchplay trophies. Seven years ago, at the age of 57, he stepped away from the PDC but continued to grace exhibitions. Four years later, he took part in his first competitive event since retirement, the inaugural World Seniors Darts Championship. Since leaving it all behind him, Taylor has swapped his arrows for a microphone, although admits he isn't as confident in his new gig. READ MORE DARTS NEWS CROWDED OUT Heta wanted to 'run into crowd and do something silly' at US Darts Masters The 64-year-old will take another stab at being a presenter when he joins the team at the World Seniors Darts Champion of Champions on Sunday. He said in the build-up to the tournament, live and free on Pluto TV,: "I'm like a fish out of water at the minute, so I'm still learning. I've got to take my hat off to these commentators. "If it was a football match, I wouldn't have a clue who's passing the ball or playing for which team! I wouldn't even know who's on whose side. It's remarkable what they do. "Every time I present, I'm learning. I will get used to it, but it's like an apprenticeship, I think. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS "So you've got to do your apprenticeship and learn your job. I'll keep pushing forward and learn. But I am enjoying it. "There's no pressure, obviously. I haven't got to get up and start practising to make sure I'm getting ready for nighttime, so I can just relax and enjoy it." Darts legend Phil Taylor reveals he'd consider buying EFL club with Robbie Williams Taylor appeared briefly on the World Seniors Tour but made the decision to call time on all competitive darts just last month, revealing that he didn't want to disappoint fans. He added: "I was really, really looking forward to it. Loved the idea of the Seniors Darts. Enjoyed playing in it. "But I couldn't perform like Phil Taylor could perform. So it broke my heart a little bit. "My body had changed. I'm 65 this year. It got harder and harder for me, and I couldn't perform. And people were paying money to come and see me. "It broke my heart not to perform like I can. And I thought, 'I can't do this anymore. This is not right. If I do something, I have to do it properly.' I'm a bit of a perfectionist. "I haven't even got a set of darts now. Or a dartboard. I've got a dartboard in the back room. But it's still in the box. I was so dedicated and everything. But I can't do it now. "So, I do other things. I see my grandkids a lot more. And the best thing in the world is staying and sleeping in your own bed. Which I'd not done for 30 years and I love it."
