Carlos Alcaraz has revealed that he made a special request to Emma Raducanu to be his partner at this year’s US Open mixed doubles – and the British No 1 will be the boss when they play together in New York.
“I was thinking that I couldn’t play better if it wasn’t with Emma,” the Spaniard said after defeating the Australian Adam Walton 6-4, 7-6 in the first round at Queen’s Club. “I just asked Emma if she wants to play doubles with me – I made that special request.”
