Raducanu, who has recently reestablished herself as the British No 1, also reflects on Alcaraz's exceptional skills.
Raducanu expressed that the bond she shares with Alcaraz stems from their early careers, asserting, 'It's nice and I think, for all of us, we really value those connections that we had from when we were young.'
Reflecting on their partnership, Raducanu remarked, 'We have a good relationship still. He's obviously overtaken me a lot, but it's nice we have that from a while ago.'
