Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz partner up in off-court venture as Wimbledon stars share ‘spark’

EMMA RADUCANU and Carlos Alcaraz have teamed up again ahead of Wimbledon.

The Grand Slam winners have caught the eye over recent weeks for their off-court “spark”.

Raducanu and Alcaraz, both 22, have been confirmed as a blockbuster mixed doubles partnership at the US Open.

And now they have partnered to become global ambassadors for Evian water.

The company have been Wimbledon’s official water supplier since 2008.

And they’ve snapped up the Spaniard as he prepares to defend his SW19 title for a second time.

In a press release, five-time Slam winner Alcaraz said: “It’s about embracing life with energy, and a positive mindset – values I respect and try to live by.

“Hydration is an important part of my daily routine and I’m excited to work with a brand that celebrates the joy of feeling youthful and full of life.

“I hope we can inspire others to prioritise their well-being.”

Raducanu was spotted cheering on Alcaraz during Queen’s his run to the title.

An insider told The Sun the pair were seen “laughing and joking with one another” near Raducanu’s hotel.

They added: “They seem very happy and relaxed with each other.”

During a press conference this week, Raducanu was told fans believed she and Alcaraz were “destined for each other”.

The British star laughed and replied: “I’m glad the internet is having fun and we’re providing entertainment for everyone.”

Raducanu added: “I’ve known him for years.

“He’s so nice, very happy, amazing values and just a really positive light to be around.”

“At Wimbledon 2021 it was the first time I started getting to know him, and I had a good run there and then also again in the US Open in 2021.

“And I remember he was always playing the day before me and I was playing like the second day of the round.

“And I would see him win and then I would have motivation to win and get myself into that position too.

“He beat Stef [Tsitsipas] in the third round and it was like a big win, his breakout kind of win on a big stage and it was really cool t go through that tournament together.

“I kept going through the US Open, but we were staying in touch for the whole time and yeah, it’s nice.”

The pair are due to play alongside each other in August at Flushing Meadows.

Raducanu and Alcaraz will play in the US Open’s revamped, $1million mixed doubles event.

The British No. 1 was in action at Eastbourne this week, where she was the No. 7 seed.

But she looked out of sorts, crashing out in the second round against Maya Joint.
