Cameron Norrie's Wimbledon press conference takes odd Emma Raducanu turn with dating question
Fresh off his third-round win Friday against Italy's Mattia Bellucci at Wimbledon, the 29-year-old appeared taken aback in his press conference when a media member asked if he was involved with fellow Brit Emma Raducanu, whose love life has garnered much attention at the tournament.
'Apart from everyone here loving tennis, some of the gossip has been about who Emma Raducanu is dating. Can I ask if you're dating her?' a reporter asked Norrie, who replied, 'Sorry?'

When the reporter repeated the question, Norrie — chasing his first Grand Slam win — responded, 'I'm not, no. You can ask her. I don't know.'

Norrie has been in a long-term relationship with girlfriend Louise Jacobi since 2019, according to reports.
Rumors about Raducanu's personal life have been swirling since June, when the 2021 U.S. Open champ cheered on world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz during his semi-final HSBC Championships win over Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut at Queen's Club. The Spaniard went on to defeat Czechia's Jiri Lehecka in the final.

'Emma and Carlos' friendship was the talk of Queens — people think there is something going on between them because they have such a spark,' a source previously told The Sun.
'… They seem very happy and relaxed with each other.'
Raducanu, set to team up with Alcaraz in the mixed doubles event at the U.S. Open later this summer, laughed over the mounting buzz in an interview with BBC Sport.

'I'm glad the internet is having fun and we're providing some entertainment for everyone,' she said last month.
When asked again about the rumors in a Wimbledon press conference last week, Raducanu said of Alcaraz, 22, 'We're just good friends.'
Raducanu reached the third round of this year's tournament, falling to top-seed Aryna Sabalenka 7-6 (8), 6-4.
Both Norrie and Alcaraz play in the Round of 16 on Sunday.
Norrie faces Chile's Nicolás Jarry, while Alcaraz, seeking a Wimbledon three-peat, takes on Andrey Rublev of Russia.

Nationals designate Nathaniel Lowe for assignment a day after he hit his first-career grand slam
Washington Nationals first baseman Nathaniel Lowe had one of the best games of his seven-year career Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals. Lowe hit his first-career grand slam and reached base two other times in a tight 8-7 win. One day later, Lowe finds himself out of a job. The 30-year-old was designated for assignment Thursday to make room for outfielder Dylan Crews, who returned from an oblique injury. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] It was a harsh transaction considering Lowe's performance in Wednesday's game. In his first at-bat, Lowe blasted a first-inning grand slam to give the Nationals an early lead. The Royals eventually battled back, making it a back-and-forth game in the late innings. With the Nationals barely clinging to a lead, Lowe produced two walks — one in the seventh and one in the ninth — to keep the team in the game. Lowe's first-inning hit was his first-ever grand slam in the majors. Because of that, and his late-inning walks, Wednesday's game rated as the fifth-best game of Lowe's entire career by win probability added, a stat that measures how much a player's contributions affected a single game. Unfortunately for Lowe, the rest of his season hasn't been as fruitful. Including Wednesday's numbers, Lowe has a .216/.292/.373 slash line in 2025. Given his struggles and his age, he was a logical choice to be shipped out in favor of the 23-year-old Crews. With the Nationals in the midst of yet another tough season, the team needs to focus on finding future solutions. Crews, one of the team's top prospects, was thought to be one of the team's answers, but struggled this season before his injury. Despite Crews' struggles, it makes more sense for the team to allow the 23-year-old to figure things out over the final two months over keeping a 30-year-old veteran who hasn't hit up to his usual standard. One of those guys might help them next season and beyond. Still, that has to sting for Lowe. There's an opportunity for this whole thing to have a happy ending. Lowe could get claimed by a contender and wind up playing meaningful baseball down the stretch. Despite his struggles, Lowe does have an above average 104 wRC+ against righties this season. He could be a useful platoon bat for a team in need of power in the middle of a playoff race.
