Emma Raducanu dropped a subtle nod to her rumoured romance with French Open winner Carlos Alcaraz on Wednesday.
With the pair gearing up to compete as partners at the US Open in August, rumours that their relationship may go beyond the tennis court first began swirling earlier this month.
Emma, 22, was reportedly seen cheering the Spaniard, also 22, on at the Queens Club Championship before gushing about Carlos being ‘a positive light to be around’ in an interview on Monday.
Insiders even claimed that their close bond was ‘the talk of Queens’ leaving supporters questioning what exactly is going on between the adored tennis stars.
In what may be a calculated hint at the her possible romance with Carlos, Emma sported a purple training top while practicing at the Eastbourne Open on Wednesday – a colour which has become synonymous with the Spaniard.

Alcaraz has sported the colour on a number of occasions both on and off the court in the past, including just last week during an interview.
And clad in the very same colour, Emma was pictured on the practice court preparing for her second round tie against Maya Joint of Australia later in the day.
While Raducanu competed at Eastbourne Park, Alcaraz was back in London at the All England Lawn Tennis club ramping up his preparation for Wimbledon, which is now just days away.
He seemed in great spirits amid Raducanu speculation, with the star snapped cracking a beaming smile as he arrived in a white Nike training top.
It comes after, according to The Sun, Carlos was sighted visiting Emma’s London hotel on multiple occasions last week after she supported him at Queens.
A source told the publication: ‘He was apparently seen at her hotel last week and on Thursday and Saturday, when Emma went to support him, Emma’s car arrived just minutes after Carlos got to Queens with his team.
‘Inside they were seen laughing and joking with one another. They seem very happy and relaxed with each other.’
Another insider added: ‘It wasn’t just the tennis lot who were talking about it. People who worked for the BBC and other broadcasters were all gossiping about it.

‘The only love being talked about was about Emma and Carlos.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Emma and Carlos for comment.
In an interview ahead of the beginning of the Eastbourne Open on Monday, Emma revealed her and Carlos first struck up a friendship in 2021 at Wimbledon.
‘He’s so nice, very happy, amazing values and just a really positive light to be around,’ she told the Mail.
‘I’ve known him for years. Wimbledon 2021 was the first time I started getting to know him. He was always playing the day before me, I would see him win and then I would have motivation to win and get myself into that position too.
‘It was really cool to go through that tournament together and then I kept going through the US Open, we were staying in touch for the whole time and, yeah, it’s nice.
‘We have a good relationship still. He’s obviously overtaken me a lot, but it’s nice that we have that from a while ago.’
The Mail had previously shared how Emma also has a close friendship with fellow teen tennis ace Benjamin Heynold.

He and Emma have known each other since the age of six and have represented Team GB together.
Heynold, 24, is a student at the the University of North Carolina in the US and friends suggest that his long friendship with Emma may have turned to romance.
Raducanu split up with her Harrow-educated boyfriend, Carlo Agostinelli, last year.
Agostinelli, a former head boy of pricey private school Harrow, is the son of tycoon Robert Agostinelli, the co-founder and chairman of private equity firm Rhone Group.
The tennis star’s year-long whirlwind romance with him was said to have been her most serious relationship yet.
She previously revealed that she wasn’t allowed to date while growing up in Bromley, South East London, which made her resent her strict her parents, Ion and Renee Raducanu.
‘My parents were very much against [boyfriends] as it interfered with training,’ she told The Times.
‘When I was younger I wasn’t even allowed to hang out with my girl friends.
‘A lot of the time I was very resentful. But it made me very confident and comfortable in my own company, which is also a big strength.’
