Nick Kyrgios has suggested Carlos Alcaraz is ‘fighting’ with another top tennis star for Emma Raducanu’s attention.
Alcaraz and Raducanu will team together at the US Open in a brand-new, star-studded doubles tournament.
The pair have been long-time friends, and fans have been wagging their tongues as romance rumors swirled following the announcement of their doubles team.
Now, Nick Kyrgios has jokingly suggested another top ten player is also vying for Raducanu’s consideration.
Nick Kyrgios says Jack Draper is ‘fighting’ Carlos Alcaraz over Emma Raducanu
After being dropped by the BBC as a pundit, controversial Australian Kyrgios has begun a new stint with TalkSport.
Always one to get people talking, the former Wimbledon finalist has claimed Jack Draper wanted Raducanu on his doubles team.
“I think it’s a love triangle!” said Kyrgios on the air. “Draper, Alcaraz, Raducanu,” the former World No. 13 continued.
The 30-year-old cheekily added: “They’re fighting over Raducanu I think, I’m not sure.”
All three players are in action at Wimbledon, with Raducanu and Alcaraz already safely making it through to round two.
Jack Draper’s thoughts on Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu
Draper was magnanimous about Raducanu picking Alcaraz as his doubles partner for the US Open Mixed Doubles tournament.
Speaking at Queen’s in June, the British No. 1 said: “A wise person once told me you should find the best partner – and that’s what she did.
“I don’t blame her at all for that,” continued the 2025 Indian Wells champion. “He’s obviously the best player in the world probably right now, along with (Jannik) Sinner. Great at doubles, as well!
“She’s gone about and chose the best partner, for sure. Hopefully they do well.”
