Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz sure know to send tennis fans into meltdown.
The pair were snapped walking side-by-side through the All England Club three days before the main draw kicks off at Wimbledon.
Alacaraz and Raducanu are incredibly close off the courtGiven the pair confirmed they will team up in the star-studded mixed doubles at the US Open, the rumour mill has been overdrive regarding how close Raducanu and Alcaraz are.
Even though Raducanu poured cold water on the duo being anything more than friends, much to the disappointment of the various parody accounts which had romantically paired her with Alcaraz, the snap of them walking through Wimbledon ignited social media once more.
Several users reposted the pictures and videos of the pair walking around Wimbledon, but there was a reason why Alcaraz and Raducanu were together at the venue.
That’s because they were involved in an activation for Evian, a water brand who Alcaraz and Raducanu are both brand ambassadors of.
They made an appearance at Evian’s Mountain of Youth VIP Suite, a venue where a raft of celebrity guests are expected to be once Wimbledon gets underway on Monday.
Alcaraz was announced as an ambassador for the beverage company on Thursday as he joined Raducanu, Frances Tiafoe and Arthur Fils in Evian’s stable of tennis stars.
Being brand ambassadors for Evian is the latest chapter in Raducanu and Alcaraz’s tight-knit friendship which extends back to the 2021 US Open, where the British number one famously claimed her first and only grand slam title to date.
“Ever since, we’ve stayed in touch and he’s done so well obviously since and continued winning and it’s been amazing to see because we were speaking and friends before anyone won anything,” Raducanu told the BBC.
Although Alcaraz and Raducanu were all smiles during the pre-tournament fun, it won’t be long before their attention turns to more serious on-court matters.
Raducanu will face 17-year-old British wildcard Mimi Xu in the first round at Wimbledon but the draw quickly becomes rather daunting.

If Raducanu can progress to the third round, she may come up against the world number one Aryna Sabalenka.
Raducanu is yet to go beyond the fourth round at the All England Club.
The 22-year-old has endured a mixed preparation in the lead up to Wimbledon as she enjoyed a run to the quarter-finals at Queen’s.
However, she was forced to withdraw from the Berlin Open due to a back issue.
Raducanu managed to return in time for the Eastbourne Open but that did not go to plan as she was beaten in the second round by Australian teenager Maya Joint.

Should Alcaraz pick up the expected victory, he will face either Oliver Tarvet or Leandro Riedi, who are making their grand slam debuts, in the next round.
