Tennis fans make all sorts of assumptions. One of them is that Carlos Alcaraz has a crush on Emma Raducanu. The British sensation replied with sweet emojis after Carlitos in a seemly bogus “dedicated his day” to Emma, who has been undergoing a series of surgeries.
However, the interview was published on Twitter by a user who is a self-professed “power tennis hater” and likes having some fun publishing “bogus interviews.”
According to this user, Carlito said: “I want to dedicate this day to Emma Raducanu who had surgery today. I wish her a very very speedy recovery, she doesn’t deserve any of this. I wish she comes back fast on court and maybe play some mixed doubles, I always wanted that.”
However, the source was not identified and that seems to confirm that Carlitos has never said those words.
Raducanu’s reaction
Many users reacted positively and even Emma replied with some nice emojis. However, she immediately deleted her reply after realizing that the interview was most probably not genuine.
