Two weeks ago, the US Open stole the attention away from Wimbledon by announcing a star-studded Mixed Doubles competition. Alcaraz is paired with Emma Raducanu, and Zheng teamed up with Jack Draper (maybe fellow British stars Raducanu and Draper should team up instead).

Rumors have swirled since it was announced last week the two would be teaming up for the newly formatted mixed doubles event at the U.S. Open later this summer.

Emma Raducanu insisted her and Carlos Alcaraz are “just good friends” after the rumour mill began churning when they were announced as a pairing for the US Open’s new mixed doubles competition.
