Is a tennis power couple emerging? Following this year's French Open, the tennis scene is filled with romance. British darling Raducanu and Spanish star "Aka" Alcaraz were seen together, with their close interactions during the Queen's Club grass tournament raising questions about their relationship.

Sources reveal that Raducanu, currently ranked 38th in the world, appeared at the event last Thursday and Saturday to cheer for Alcaraz, who is ranked 2nd in the world.
Alcaraz was seen entering and exiting the hotel where Raducanu was staying. Notably, they consistently arrived at the venue just minutes apart. Sources indicate, "Their playful interactions have become a hot topic at the Queen's Club, and the natural chemistry they display has everyone thinking their relationship is more than just friends."
It is reported that even the broadcasting staff are privately discussing the intense interactions between this golden couple. The 21-year-old Raducanu and 20-year-old Alcaraz are set to team up for the mixed doubles at the US Open in August. Alcaraz admitted that Raducanu will take the lead on the court, having more say during their matches. However, insiders predict that their collaboration may extend beyond the court.

Both of them revealed last year that dating is difficult. The two rising stars in tennis have publicly discussed the challenges of their romantic lives—Alcaraz admitted that finding true love on the tour is hard, while Raducanu shared that her parents had prohibited her from dating to focus on her tennis career.
Fans have shown great enthusiasm for the potential strongest couple in tennis. On Raducanu's social media, numerous comments mention Alcaraz, with some fans jokingly referring to her as "the future Emma Alcaraz."
