Raducanu and Alcaraz were last seen in action at the US Open’s mixed doubles tournament alongside each other.

Emma Raducanu will be playing qualifiers in her opening match at this year's US Open, and she will have to wait for the completion of the qualifying tournament before getting her first-round opponent allotted. Carlos Alcaraz, on the other hand, will be locking horns with Reilly Opelka in the first round of the event.

Making his feelings known about giving up his rest and playing the next day, he said that he was excited to be on court with the Brit. Referring to the new concept of the mixed doubles, he said in the post-match press conference:
