Raducanu previously responded to claims of a relationship with Alcaraz by declaring: 'We're just good friends.'
Recalling when Alcaraz asked her to join forces, Raducanu said: "I mean, of course, I had to ask my team if they wanted me to play.

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."
Wimbledon Ticket Options
There are a range of ways to get into Wimbledon as one of the only major sporting events in the world that offer sought-after tickets on the day of the event...
The Queue
As one of the only major sporting events that allows guests to purchase tickets on the day of the event, demand is high.
Each day a large queue forms of people wanting either a Grounds or Show Court ticket - with many even arriving the night before and camping to guarantee a place.
Upon arrival, visitors are issued a Queue Card, which is numbered and dated and should be kept until a ticket has been purchased.
While there is a limited number of entries, it is possible to remain in the queue and wait for people already inside to leave, with those tickets then becoming available.
It is also possible to check the status of the queue on the Wimbledon website.
This year, organisers are asking potential queuers to download the Wimbledon app and create a myWimbledon account.
Show Tickets
If you get to the front of the queue, then there are a limited number of tickets available for purchase for Centre Court and Courts 1, 2 and 3.
Note that Centre Court tickets are available for the first 10 days of the tournament, the final four days were already pre-sold.
Prices vary depending on the Court, seat and day of the event and will increase the further into the tournament you visit.
For example, Centre Court rows A-T cost £105 on Day 1 and £315 on Day 14 (men's final).
Grounds Pass
A Grounds Pass costs £30 and allows visitors to watch matches on Courts 3-18 on unreserved seats, though there will also be a queue to get into Court 3.
Ticket Resale
From 3pm each day, tickets may become available from people who have left Wimbledon and made their seat available.
A Grounds Pass is needed to join the virtual queue on the Wimbledon App.
Tickets cost £15 for Centre Court or £10 for Courts 1/2.
Hospitality
There are a range of hospitality packages still available on the Wimbledon website.
Hospitality packages offer guaranteed premium seating to major matches as well as fine dining experiences, complimentary drinks, a shuttle and concierge service.
Hospitality packages can also be purchased via

Denis Leamy hails interim Ireland coach Paul O'Connell as great leader and communicator
Denis Leamy hailed interim Irish coach Paul O'Connell as a "brilliant leader" as the national team prepare for a Summer Tour series against Georgia and Portugal. With Andy Farrell assuming the role of head coach with the British & Irish Lions and 16 Irishmen part of the overall contingent, it's all change for the two upcoming Tests against Georgia in Tiblisi this Saturday, following by a date with Portugal in Lisbon seven days later. Munster defence coach Leamy got the call to work alongside his former Ireland colleague O'Connell in preparing the side for these July assignments, with attack coach Mike Prendergast and scrum coach Cullie Tucker also helping out. For Leamy, there was much praise for how the interim man in charge is overseeing things. Speaking at a press conference, a day out from the squad's departure to Eastern Europe, he said: "I'm very excited to be working with Paul again; he has carved out a hugely succesful coaching career. He has given us clear guidelines in terms of what he wants from us as coaches coming in from the provinces. He challenges us and creates a good atmosphere to work in." Being even more effusive of O'Connell's contribution, he added: "Paul is a natural leader, a brilliant leader, so his presence alone is a great starting point. He has a great knowledge of the game and his way of imparting that knowledge to the players is hugely impressive." Even though 13 uncapped players are part of this squad, Leamy is not expecting much variation in how Ireland will approach these Tests from the way an Andy Farrell team would play. "It's about implementing old and new into the Irish gameplan again and playing the Irish way again," to see how players do in that environment so that they can produce a big effort and big performances. "It will be very, very similar if not the same," said the former No 8. "So that's the plan, to play the really Irish way and to try and do it as well as we can. "Obviously we're missing a big chunk of the players who have gone to Australia with the Lions but it's a great opportunity for the boys coming in to show what they can do and just build on some of the things that have (been) done to date." Facing Georgia will be the just the challenge for a collective looking to experience the thrust of international rugby, according to Leamy. "They're a very experienced Georgian team, a lot of them have played in World Cups. A huge amount of them play in the Top 14 so they're well accustomed to big games, being in tough environments. "So it's a really good challenge for a young team and to go to Tbilisi, into a bit of a bearpit, it's going to physical, it's going to be hot, it's everything we want to expose our young players to." The Tipperary native also had positive news on Munster's Tom Ahern, who had been feeling the effects of a tight hamstring. "Tom is good to go. He's fit and he's ready to go," he revealed. "Tom has progressed hugely over the last couple of years and he's put in some excellent performances for Munster. So he's a guy we have high hopes for and absolutely, hopefully, he'll get game time and do really well. "He's such a promising player, I've no doubt he can do that."
