Carlos Alcaraz's Rumored Ex-Girlfriend Also Plays Tennis
Earlier this month during the opening stages of Wimbledon, tennis star Emma Raducanu shut down rumors that she was dating Carlos Alcaraz.
"I've known him for years. Wimbledon 2021 was the first time I started getting to know him, and I had a good run there and then also again in the U.S. Open in 2021," she revealed when asked about dating rumors of the couple.
"We have a good relationship still. He’s obviously overtaken me a lot, but it's nice that we have that from a while ago," she added. "I think for all of us, we really kind of value those connections that we had from when we were young because when you become a bit more known or a bit more successful, you just find yourself reverting back to people you knew from a young age because you're like, that's a real genuine connection. Because it becomes very busy and you have a lot more friends but the ones that you've known for a long time mean a lot more to you."
Alcaraz himself has made it very clear he's single, but also looking for a relationship even though finding love has been difficult as he travels from tournament to tournament. “No, I am single. I am looking for someone. It can be difficult as a tennis player to meet the right person because you are traveling all the time," he said in an interview.
He wasn't always single, though, at least according to multiple reports. He reportedly previously dated childhood friend Maria Gonzalez Gimenez, who plays tennis recreationally for Murcia Club de Tenis, a tennis club in Spain.

Just last summer Gimenez graduated from law school.
“Four years of putting up with these people, it was worth it in the end (I AM A LAWYER),” she said sarcastically in the caption of the photo.

Alcaraz is in the midst of a semifinal match against American Taylor Fritz and currently leads the third set after they split the first two.
