Wimbledon 2025: Cameron Norrie left stunned with Emma Raducanu dating question
A video on social media captured the moment when Norrie was asked about Raducanu. 'Apart from everyone here loving tennis, some of the gossip has been about who Emma Raducanu is dating. Can I ask if you're dating her?' a reporter asked Norrie. The Briton replied, 'I'm not, no. You can ask her. I don't know.'
The top-ranked British Raducanu fell to top-seed Aryna Sabalenka 7-6 (8), 6-4 in the third round. The last time Raducanu had won a Grand Slam was during the US Open in 2021. Since then, she has been struggling to perform as per expectations. She has battled wrist and ankle operations, injuries, and faced consistent changes in her coaching set-up, the BBC reported.
Rumors of Raducanu's closeness with Carlos Alcaraz started in June when she was spotted at Queen's Club, cheering for the Spaniard in the semifinal HSBC Championships against Roberto Bautista Agut. Alcaraz and Raducanu are set to play together in the mixed doubles at the US Open this year.
The duo's banter-filled video for the US Open also sparked speculation. However, Raducanu has said that she and Alcaraz are 'just good friends.' 'I'm glad the internet is having fun and we're providing some entertainment for everyone,' she told BBC.
As for Norrie, he has been in a long-term relationship with Louise Jacobi since 2019. He squares off against Chile's Nicolas Jarry in the men's singles round of 16 on Sunday. Alcaraz, on the other hand, will take on Andrey Rublev of Russia on July 6. The Spanish sensation is seeking his third consecutive Wimbledon win.
He reached the eighth spot in the ATP rankings in 2022.
The British tennis star has deals with K-Swiss, Rado, Maui Jim, Illuvium and Babolat, among others.
He is a British tennis player.

'My favourite journalist...': Shubman Gill mocks British reporter after ending India's Edgbaston curse
Shubman Gill wasn't just keeping track of runs and wickets in India's historic Test win at Edgbaston—he was also keeping receipts. After leading India to their first-ever Test victory in Birmingham, the 24-year-old walked into the post-match press conference with a grin and a mission. "I can't see my favourite journalist. Where is he? I wanted to see him," Gill said, scanning the room as the press chuckled. It was a clear reference to a pre-match exchange, where a British journalist had pointedly reminded Gill of India's winless record at Edgbaston, noting that the team had never beaten England in nine previous matches at the venue. — AnkanKar (@AnkanKar) The moment, now circulating widely online, was seen as a confident clapback—not on social media, but after a landmark performance on the pitch. Live Events 'I don't really believe in history and stats' Further, Gill addressed the pressure of India's past failures at the venue. 'I even said before the Test match that I don't really believe in history and stats,' he said. 'Over the last 56 years or so, we've played nine matches—different teams have come here. I believe we are the best team to have come here in England, and we have the capability to beat them, to win the series from here.' He added, 'If we keep making the right decisions and keep fighting, I think it would be one of the series to remember.' Praise for India's pace attack With Jasprit Bumrah rested for the Test, India's chances were doubted further. But Gill hailed his relatively inexperienced pace attack—Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep and Prasidh Krishna—for delivering under pressure. 'Our bowlers were magnificent. We are capable of taking 20 wickets anywhere,' he said. 'The consistency from both ends—Siraj, Akash, and even Prasidh—helped us win the little moments. That's what makes the difference.' Gill also singled out the impact of the second new ball. 'When the ball is soft on a flat pitch, it's tough to stop runs. With the harder ball, wickets come easier. That second new ball spell changed the game for us.' 'We don't listen to outside noise' On his own preparations, the captain revealed that he had begun working on technical aspects of his batting during the latter stages of the 2025 IPL season. 'I started working on some things during the last phase of the IPL,' he said. Responding to recent scrutiny over his form and leadership, Gill remained unfazed. 'We don't listen to outside noise. Opinions change every game. If your teammates trust you, that's what matters.'

'I think I played intelligent and smart today against him, tactically,' Alcaraz said post-match. 'A really good match, which I'm really proud about.' Poll How impressed are you with Carlos Alcaraz's performance so far at Wimbledon? Very impressed Somewhat impressed Not impressed He credited his belief and mental strength for the turnaround: 'One point can change the match completely, turn everything around. In tennis, you have to stay there all the time. Being strong mentally, to stay there. I knew that I was going to play better.' Next up for Alcaraz is Britain's Cameron Norrie, who survived a five-set battle against Chile's Nicolas Jarry to become the last home hope at Wimbledon. In the women's draw, top seed Aryna Sabalenka continued her dominant run, defeating Elise Mertens 6-4, 7-6(4) to book a quarter-final spot against Germany's Laura Siegemund. 'With your support guys, I think everything is possible,' said Sabalenka, who has yet to lose a set this year. Elsewhere, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova overcame Britain's Sonay Kartal in straight sets despite a controversial line-calling glitch that temporarily derailed her momentum. Karen Khachanov and Taylor Fritz also advanced, the latter after Australian Jordan Thompson retired hurt.

"Where's My Favourite Journalist?": Shubman Gill Trolls Reporter In Press Conference
Team India did the unthinkable in the Edgbaston Test against England, beating the hosts for the first time ever at the venue in their history. The team wasn't entrusted with the belief that it could do the job as none of Gill's predecessors had managed to beat England in Birmingham. With the management deciding to not pick Jasprit Bumrah for the game too, questions arose even over the team's intent ahead of the second match of the series. An English journalist had even pointed out India's barren history in Edgbaston, highlighting how the team had never managed to win a single game. As Gill arrived in the press conference after etching his name in history, his eyes were keen to find the same journalist who pointed out the bitter stats in front of him during the pre-match press meet. "I can't see my favourite journalist. Where is he? I wanted to see him," Gill said, trolling the journalist during the media conference. "I even said before the Test match that I don't really believe in history and stats. Over the last 56 years or so, we've played nine matches - different teams have come here. I believe we are the best team to have come here in England, and we have the capability to beat them, to win the series from here. If we keep making the right decisions and keep fighting, I think it would be one of the series to remember," he further said. I asked the question… and Shubman roasted the British journalist with a smile Watch the full clip — this one's gold! #ENGvIND #ShubmanGill #PressConference — Ankan Kar (@AnkanKar) July 6, 2025 The India skipper was full of praise for the team's pace duo of Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj who rose to the occasion and delivered when the team lacked the services of its marquee pacer Jasprit Bumrah. "Our bowlers were magnificent," Gill said. "We are capable of taking 20 wickets anywhere. The consistency from both ends - Siraj, Akash, and even Prasidh - helped us win the little moments. That's what makes the difference," he said. "When the ball is soft on a flat pitch, it's tough to stop runs. With the harder ball, wickets come easier. That second new ball spell changed the game for us," he further said, explaining his mantra. On his own batting performance, Gill said that he had started to prepare for the England series during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. "I started working on some things during the last phase of the IPL," Gill said. "We don't listen to outside noise. Opinions change every game. If your teammates trust you, that's what matters."
