Emma Raducanu watches Carlos Alcaraz win as 'romance blossoms'
Emma Raducanu watched on as Carlos Alcaraz won again at Wimbledon, as "romance blossoms" between the pair. The Spaniard remains on course for a third consecutive Wimbledon crown after surviving a scare on Sunday to set up a quarter-final clash with Britain's Cameron Norrie. The world number two's title defence was creaking when having overturned a 4-1 deficit, he dropped the opening set against Russian 14th seed Andrey Rublev on a tie-break. But a significant Centre Court upset was ultimately averted as Alcaraz extended his winning streak to 22 matches by coming through a tricky round-four contest 6-7 (5) 6-3 6-4 6-4.

(Image: Adam Davy / PA) 'Andrey is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful player we have on tour, without a doubt,' Alcaraz said in his on-court interview. 'To face him, you are feeling he is pushing you to the limit in every ball. 'I'm really happy with the way I moved today. I think I played intelligent and smart against him tactically, a really good match, which I'm really proud about." The 22-year-old was watched by US Open mixed doubles partner Emma Raducanu, fuelling rumours of romance. Raducanu has denied having any kind of romantic relationship with the reigning Wimbledon champion but national reports continue to suggest that a connection is blossoming between the pair.

"[We are simply] just good friends." Others believe there is a closer connection ahead of the revamped US Open mixed doubles tournament later this year. Raducanu will partner Alcaraz at the Flushing Meadows tournament, which has only added to fuel the rumours, along with her crowd appearance yesterday. One social media user said: "Rublev looks so much healthier than before, but as soon as I saw Raducanu in the crowd, I knew Alcaraz would be too powerful."

In the past, Raducanu has been linked to studying at Oxford University after being spotted on a day trip in the city, looking around the colleges. She ruled this out for the time being last year and said: "I'm very much focused on my professional tennis career. 'Once that's over, maybe or once I have more disposition or more time, that's for sure something I would love to explore. 'For now I'm very much focused on the tennis.'

Sculpture trail creates buzz in city
Giant sculptures of bees will be on display in a city's streets and parks for the next two months as it hosts its first art trail. Buzz in the City has swarmed into Chelmsford, Essex, amid hopes it will raise more than £100,000 for the local Farleigh Hospice. Thirty bee sculptures decorated by artists and 15 smaller bee models, painted by schools, care homes and community groups, make up the 6.2-mile (10-km) trail. "We chose bees for their hard-working nature, they are very community spirited - much like the hospice - and their importance to the natural world," said art trail organiser Caroline Smith. More than 20 artists have painted the 6-ft (1.8-m) high sculptures, with designs ranging from abstract to traditional. They went on display across the city on 5 July and will be in place until Tuesday 9 September, when they will be moved to Farleigh Hospice's for a farewell weekend event on 13 and 14 September. The sculptures will be auctioned off on 17 September to raise money for the hospice. The charity provides free hospice care for adults with life-limiting illnesses across mid-Essex and also offers bereavement services to children and adults. Hospice commercial director Pauline Harvey-Jones said: "We decided to do an art trail in Chelmsford as we wanted to raise awareness of Farleigh Hospice in our community, to actually have a really fantastic community event and also to highlight the plight of bees. "We hope when people do the trail, they'll enjoy all the experiences they can have within the city and parks in Chelmsford." Printed maps of the trail are available or visitors can download an app to their phones. Follow Essex news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.
