Is there romance in the air between Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Radacanu?

Carlos will play Jack Draper at Queens in his next match and Emma texted him and said who wins this match I will play mixed doubles at Wimbledon
Carlos said he would love to be her partner, she is a great champion and person

Stayed tuned for further developments :)

I hope not. He needs someone who either is not at all a tennis player or is a player who is motivated and won't bring him down.

Queenwin plays the grudge card again. I'm going on record and saying she doesn't plan on losing to Naomi ever again. :lol6:
Let's hope they meet again at Wimbledon because their dynamic is kinda interesting. I want mama bear to win one of these matches for it to be a rivalry.I think Quiwen seems to be bothered by what happened, and I want Osaka to refuse to be a punching bag ..

I think we will see more tennis players opting out for the reason of the short turnaround from grass back to clay
It's the easiest and in many cases honest excuse but people should be aware of the vigorous Olympic drug testing which makes a mockery of tennis doping controls. If you're doping and getting away with it on the standard tours, you won't be so lucky at the Olympics. This is why many will skip it too I'm sure.

Ash Barty Wimbledon 2021 champion is returning to play at the Invitational Doubles at Wimbledon
I hope this is the beginning of the comeback. I would love to see her in the main draw at the US Open to complete the career grand slam. Women's tennis is better with Ash Barty in it.

Presently Ash is happy being a mum and has a lot of projects keeping her busy
