Nick Kyrgios Adds Fresh "Love Triangle" Twist To Carlos Alcaraz-Emma Raducanu Dating Rumours
No, they are "just good friends" as per Raducanu, who dismissed speculations surrounding her relationship with the Spaniard.
"We're just good friends," said a smiling Raducanu during a pre-Wimbledon press conference.
"I'm really happy obviously to be playing with him. Yeah, we had a good time yesterday."
Last week, Alcaraz also revealed that he had made the request to play mixed doubles with Raducanu, who is the first qualifier in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam singles title.
Recently, Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios added a fresh twist to the plot, suggesting that Alcaraz and Raducanu are part of a love triangle, also involving Briton Jack Draper.
"I don't know, I think it's a love triangle," Kyrgios told the reporters recently.
"Draper, Alcaraz, Raducanu. They're fighting over Raducanu I think, I'm not sure. I think (on) the outside (she looks happy), I don't know who's making her happy," Kyrgios said.
"The tennis world loves a love story, they love to try and put two together but Raducanu is No. 1 British female player at the moment, she's doing fairly well.
As of now, both Raducanu and Draper are out of the Wimbledon. The 23-year-old Briton lost to Croatian veteran Marin Cilic in the second round, while Raducanu bowed out on Friday, losing in straight sets to women's top seed.
Alcaraz, on the other hand, will be in action on Sunday when he takes on Russian Andrey Rublev in a Round of 16 clash.

Pasta with Strawberries? Iga Swiatek Reveals Her Unusual Take On Wimbledon Snack
Last Updated: Swiatek shared her love for pasta with strawberries and yogurt, claiming Polish strawberries are better than British ones, sparking playful controversy. Iga Swiatek cruised past Danielle Collins in their third-round match on Centre Court Saturday, showing few signs of struggle on the grass. But it wasn't her dominant performance that stirred conversation — it was her post-match revelation about one of her favorite meals. Pasta with strawberries 🍓 @iga_swiatek 's favourite meal is an interesting one 😂 #Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 5, 2025 A Wimbledon Classic — With a Twist Each year, the All England Club estimates that more than 35 tons of strawberries — typically served with cream — are consumed during the tournament. The beloved treat is such a symbol of Wimbledon that strawberry-themed merchandise can be found throughout the grounds. Swiatek, however, introduced an unexpected variation during her on-court interview: 'You should try it, guys — pasta, strawberries, a little bit of yogurt." Later, she doubled down by posting a photo on Instagram of a bowl containing exactly that. Iga Swiatek shares a photo of her favorite meal, pasta and Lord. 😭😭😭😭 — The Tennis Letter (@TheTennisLetter) July 5, 2025 The dish, known in Polish as makaron z truskawkami, literally translates to 'pasta with strawberries." It's a sweet summertime staple in Poland, typically made with noodles topped with blended or mashed strawberries, sugar, and a creamy ingredient like sour cream, heavy cream, or — in Swiatek's case — yogurt. 'Why is it such a big thing? Everybody should eat that," said Swiatek with a grin after her win over Collins. 'I think in summer, kids are eating it a lot. I don't know. It's just a perfect mix of tastes." Polish Strawberries > British Strawberries? Asked whether Poland or England has better strawberries, Swiatek didn't hesitate. 'Honestly, I think Poland," she said. 'Because we have better climate for strawberries, right?" Then, smiling again, she added: 'Now Wimbledon is probably going to ban me from answering these questions."

Taylor Fritz Through To Wimbledon Quarter-Finals After Jordan Thompson Retires
Taylor Fritz booked a place in the Wimbledon quarter-finals in double-quick time on Sunday after Australia's Jordan Thompson retired injured with the score at 6-1, 3-0. The US fifth seed faced gruelling five-set battles in his opening two matches against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and Gabriel Diallo, before overcoming Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in four sets in the third round. But it was a different story on Sunday. The Eastbourne champion broke Thompson twice to seal the first set in just 21 minutes and led 3-0 in the second set.

He returned to the court and slipped 40-0 down in the the fourth game before deciding he was unable to continue, with the match lasting just 41 minutes. Fritz will face Russian 17th seed Karen Khachanov in his third quarter-final at the All England Club. Listen to the latest songs, only on

Who is Sonay Kartal? Rising British star facing Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in round of 16 of Wimbledon 2025
Sonay Kartal, the British no. 3, has captured the attention of tennis fans across the world with her remarkable run at Wimbledon 2025. Currently, in the round of 16, Kartal is trailing after losing the first set to Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the ongoing match. Notably, she reached this stage of a Grand Slam for the first time. Kartal's journey to the fourth round of the Wimbledon 2025 is a significant milestone. Last year, she reached the third round at Wimbledon as a wildcard ranked 281 in the world, losing to Coco Gauff. This year, ranked world No. 51, she made a comeback and defeated high-caliber players like 20th seed Jelena Ostapenko and Viktoriya Tomova before her win against France's Diane Parry in the third round. The 23-year-old from Brighton, born in Sidcup, delivered a commanding 6-4, 6-2 victory over Parry. 'I was pretty nervous walking out there,' Kartal admitted after her third-round match. 'It's a big court with a lot of meaning to me.' Standing at just 5ft 4in, Kartal is the shortest player left in the women's singles draw, a fact she embraces with pride. 'You have got to have different skills in your locker,' she told BBC Sport. 'I have not got the long limbs, so I have to make up for it with speed around the court.' Anne Keothavong, Great Britain's Billie Jean King Cup captain, praised Kartal's foot speed and power, noting, 'What she lacks in height she makes up for with power and foot speed'. In the round of 16, Kartal takes on world No. 50 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, a seasoned Russian player and former French Open finalist. Pavlyuchenkova ranked just one spot below Kartal, advanced after defeating four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka in a three-set thriller. This evenly matched contest offers Kartal a chance to reach the quarterfinals. Sonay Kartal is a self-funded teenager who traveled to tournaments without a coach. She faced significant setbacks, including a two-year hiatus from tennis due to injuries. Despite these challenges, she has risen to world No. 51, with projections suggesting a climb into the top 45 after Wimbledon. Off the court, Kartal's distinctive style shines through her retro-inspired tennis outfits and love for 1990s music. Her 14 tattoos, including one reading 'The show must go on,' reflect her resilience.
