Carlos Alcaraz's incredible net worth, Emma Raducanu rumours, tennis 'love triangle' claim

The tennis spotlight is squarely on Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner as they prepare to contest the Wimbledon final in a thrilling Grand Slam decider. Not long after meeting in the French Open finale, where Alcaraz came out on top, the two prospects will be reunited at SW19 on Sunday.

The emerging rivalry between these two tennis powerhouses marks the beginning of a new era in the sport. One seen as little more than Next-Gen prospects, the duo are stepping out of the shadows cast by retired legends Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, as well as major title record-holder Novak Djokovic (24).

At 38, Djokovic is approaching the end of his illustrious career. Yet he's optimistic about the future of tennis thanks to talents like Alcaraz and Sinner.

"They're definitely great for tennis, both of them," said the Serb earlier this summer (via Wales Online). "I think their rivalry is something that our sport needs, no doubt. The way they are playing and approaching tennis life, I think they are going to have very successful careers in the next years."

This won't be Alcaraz's first appearance in the Wimbledon final, nor his first taste of Grand Slam victory. The 22-year-old sensation has clinched the last two titles at SW19, as well as a memorable win against Sinner at the French Open earlier this summer.

As he prepares to face Sinner again, Alcaraz will draw upon that experience to secure a £3million prize. And despite already having five Grand Slam crowns to his credit, that figure would significantly boost his already substantial net worth.

At a reported £35million, Alcaraz's wealth is built on both his on-court triumphs and lucrative sponsorship deals with renowned brands such as Nike, Babolat, Rolex, Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein and BMW. Off-court, Carlos Alcaraz's life is just as exciting as his tennis, with whispers of a romance with Emma Raducanu intensifying during Wimbledon.

Tennis fans are buzzing about the prospect of the duo pairing up for doubles at the US Open. Raducanu herself has also been a regular at Alcaraz's matches this season.

The current ATP No. 2 lit up when referencing Raducanu's presence at one of his matches, saying: "I saw on social media she came up to watch my match. I'm just glad. I mean, I was focused on the match. I didn't see her afterwards. I am just glad that she came to support me, to watch my match. Yeah, I think it was great having her in the stands."

In June, both rising stars were spotted turning up for the Kensington tournament "within minutes of each other," fuelling gossip about their relationship status. And it could mark the beginning of the greatest power couple in tennis history if the pair ever became official.

"Emma and Carlos' friendship was the talk of Queen's - people think there is something going on between them because they have such a spark," one source told The Sun in June. Reports suggested Alcaraz was seen at Raducanu's hotel and that their cars pulled into Queen's moments apart.

"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 Queen's with his team. Inside they were seen laughing and joking with one another. They seem very happy and relaxed with each other."

However, Raducanu put a pin in the rumours recently by insisting the two tennis superstars were just "good friends." Nevertheless they will play alongside each other in the US Open mixed doubles competition later this year.

Adding a dash of drama to the situation, Aussie maverick Nick Kyrgios hinted at some potentially complex love dynamics, as he suggested both Alcaraz and Jack Draper could be involved in a "love triangle" with Raducanu.

"I don't know, I think it's a love triangle," the notorious wind-up merchant told reporters earlier this year. "Draper, Alcaraz, Raducanu. They're fighting over Raducanu, I think. I'm not sure. I think [on] the outside [she looks happy], I don't know who's making her happy."

Rumour has it Raducanu isn't the only star name linked with Alcaraz in their sport, however. He has also been connected with Spanish student Maria Gonzalez Gimenez from his own hometown in Murcia, though little about their relationship is public knowledge.
