With the grass-court Grand Slam just seven days away, Alcaraz’s triumph sends a clear message: he’s ready to dominate.
But the real buzz came off the court when Alcaraz dropped a stunning revelation about his upcoming partnership with Emma Raducanu. The pair, spotted together in the stands on Saturday as Raducanu cheered him on, are set to join forces for mixed doubles at the US Open later this year.

With Wimbledon looming, Raducanu is determined to shake off her injury woes and hit the ground running. Her presence at Queen’s, supporting Alcaraz, showed her passion for the game remains unshaken, even as a wave of withdrawals rocks the Wimbledon lineup.
As the tennis world braces for a dramatic Grand Slam, all eyes are on Alcaraz and Raducanu. Will their newfound partnership ignite the courts at the US Open? And can Raducanu overcome her challenges to shine at Wimbledon? One thing’s certain: the stage is set for an electrifying summer of tennis!
