Tennis Fans Want Reporter Fired For ‘Tacky’ Carlos Alcaraz Question

Tennis Fans Want Reporter Fired For ‘Tacky’ Carlos Alcaraz Question originally appeared on The Spun.

With the 2025 Wimbledon Championships on the horizon, Carlos Alcaraz is trending because of his life off the court. 

Earlier this month, Alcaraz asked Emma Raducanu to be his partner for mixed doubles at the US Open. She was more than willing to accept his offer. Once their partnership for the final Grand Slam tournament of the year was confirmed, fans started speculating about their connection. 

That speculation only grew louder when Alcaraz and Raducanu were spotted practicing together at Wimbledon. Raducanu later revealed they were working on something with Evian since they’re both ambassadors for the brand. 

Despite their best efforts to keep the focus on tennis, Alcaraz and Raducanu haven’t been able to dodge questions from the public. 

On Saturday afternoon, Raducanu was asked about her dynamic with Alcaraz. An unidentified reporter was wondering if there’s a potential romance brewing behind the scenes.

“There’s been lots of chatter online about your friendship with Carlos,” a reporter asked. “Is there any truth behind the rumors?”

Raducanu replied, “We’re just good friends.” 

Raducanu handled this interaction with class, make no mistake about it. That doesn’t change the fact that it was a ridiculous question. 

In fact, some fans want this reporter to face consequences for this question.

“Tennis reporters should not ask such questions,” one fan said. 

“This is getting ridiculous,” a second fan wrote.

“It is none of our business, leave them alone,” a third fan commented. 

“Tennis reporters are so unprofessional. Some reporters, especially those from the UK. It is yet another example of the circuits, particularly the @wta failing to monitor the press conferences and protect their players,” an Instagram user wrote.

“Leave them alone and let it happen organically if you do like them as a couple. Tacky otherwise, but it’s the media so what else is new,” another social media user said.

As of now, the reporter hasn’t apologized for their question about Alcaraz and Raducanu. 

Hopefully, this bizarre situation doesn’t become the top story at Wimbledon this upcoming week.
