The Spaniard has been linked—at least playfully—by fans to fellow tennis star Emma Raducanu, especially after the news broke that the two will be teaming up for mixed doubles at this year’s US Open. Now, with the pair spotted training together ahead of the tournament, the speculation has only grown louder.

To become World No.1 at the end of the US Open, Alcaraz must lift the trophy or he must achieve the same result as Sinner, who is called upon to defend his triumph a year ago. The 24-year-old from Sesto Pusteria - on the other hand - must win the tournament or do better than the Spanish ace.

Djokovic, who threw out the first pitch ahead of Thursday’s Red Sox-Yankees game, faces Learner Tien, the American ranked No. 48 in the world, while Alcaraz meets huge-serving American Reilly Opelka, ranked No. 66.

Butler is entering his first full season with the Warriors following his midseason trade from the Miami Heat in 2024-25. The 35-year-old should benefit from a full offseason with Golden State as he looks to help lead his squad to a championship this coming season alongside Steph Curry and Co.

Carlos Alcaraz has been on a roll at a Masters 1000 level since 2022. At 22, the El Palmar native is already among the eight most successful players at a premium ATP level, with plenty more to come in the future.

The much-talked-about pairing of Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz fell to an early exit in the US Open’s mixed doubles competition on Tuesday, losing their first-round match and failing to win a set.

Carlos Alcaraz, one of the top tennis stars in the world, appeared visibly uncomfortable during a practice session at the 2025 US Open. The reason seemed to be the presence of cameras and microphones that were recording him and his coach while they discussed tactics.

Fran Jones credited the Carlos Alcaraz approach with helping her achieve another impressive first at the US Open.The 24-year-old broke into the top 100 for the first time last month following two titles on clay and qualified for the main draw at Flushing Meadows on Friday after beating Dutchwoman Arianne Hartono 6-2 6-4.
