Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu recently crossed paths in Malaga, Spain, where they are representing their countries in the Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup, respectively. The picture of their encounter led many fans to speculate playfully about a brewing chemistry between the two.
Alcaraz's campaign at the 2024 ATP Finals in Turin didn’t go as expected. He was eliminated after losing to Casper Ruud and Alexander Zverev, with just one win over Andrey Rublev. Alcaraz isn't the only one competing in Malaga. Emma Raducanu, meanwhile, is representing Team Great Britain, which has reached the semifinals of the Billie Jean King Cup.
Team Great Britain faced Canada in the quarterfinals, where Emma Raducanu set the tone with a commanding 6-0, 7-5 win over Rebecca Marino. Katie Boulter then sealed the victory with a 6-2, 6-4 triumph over Leylah Fernandez, securing Great Britain's place in the semifinals.
Raducanu and Alcaraz recently interacted while in Malaga. Tennis Channel on X shared pictures of their encounter. As the Brit tossed a rugby ball, Alcaraz smiled while moving.
Several fans reacted to this interaction. One fan wrote:
"Find a love that looks at you the same way Carlos looks at Emma."
"Better love story than Twilight," another commented.
"Carlos gotta turn on that Spanish rizz," a fan said.
Here are a few more reactions from the fans:
"They would make such a cute couple 🥰," a fan wrote.
"Y’all just hype anything this days," another chimed in.
"I’d love to see this ship sail 😊," a fan wrote.
Similar speculation arose when Carlos Alcaraz faced Novak Djokovic at the 2024 Wimbledon final.
"You have to question her": When Carlos Alcaraz addressed the rumors about him and Emma Raducanu

Emma Raducanu was present in Centre Court to watch the final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, leading many to suggest that her presence may have boosted Alcaraz's performance against Djokovic.
Alcaraz delivered a dominant performance, winning the match 6-2, 6-2, 7-6(4). During the post-match press conference, the Spaniard was asked if the Brit had come especially to watch him.
Alcaraz dismissed the rumors, suggesting that Raducanu was likely there simply as a spectator, like everyone else. He further explained that if a Grand Slam were held in Murcia, he would have surely attended, just as Raducanu did in her hometown.
"I don’t know. I guess a lot of people came to see the final. Novak and I always play a spectacular match; it’s a beautiful match to see. And she is from here, so I imagine that she wanted to come and see it. If there was a Grand Slam in Murcia, I would watch the finals 100%. I don’t know if she came to the finals or if she came to see me. Who knows? You have to question her, but I hope she enjoyed the final,” Alcaraz said (via Tennis Tonic).
On the tennis front, Alcaraz will be joined by Roberto Bautista Agut, Pedro Martinez, Marcel Granollers, and Rafael Nadal as Team Spain faces Team Netherlands in the Davis Cup Finals quarterfinals on November 19. The winning team will advance to the semifinals to face either Germany or Canada.
Meanwhile, Team Great Britain, featuring Emma Raducanu, will take on Slovakia in the semifinals of the Billie Jean King Cup.
