Further quizzed if he could return the favour by attending some of Raducanu's matches prior to their US Open date, Alcaraz added: "Well, it depends on the schedule, obviously.
"I have practices. I have matches. Yeah, I would love to, yeah, if I have time, if, you know, if everything -- if I'm at the club or I don't have anything else to do, yeah, I would love to come and watch her.
"I'm watching her matches from the TV every time that I can. So watching her in real could be fun."

Keir Starmer calls on Kneecap to be dropped from Glastonbury
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called on the organisers of Glastonbury Festival to pull Kneecap from their line-up, stating it is 'not appropriate.' Last week, band member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh appeared in a London court on a terrorism charge after it was alleged he displayed a Hezbollah flag during a live performance in the UK in November, 2024. The 27-year-old spoke just to confirm his identity at the beginning of proceedings. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called on organisers of Glastonbury Festival to pull Kneecap from their line-up, stating it is 'not appropriate.' Pic: Benjamin Cremel –He was granted unconditional bail and is set to return to court on August 20, when legal arguments will be addressed. The band took to the stage at Fairview Park in Dublin the day after the court appearance, and are also scheduled to appear at Glastonbury next weekend with the charge certainly not hindering their popularity. The rap band are set to play the West Host Stage on Saturday from 4pm, with the BBC broadcasting the festival for those who can't make it.

The Sun report that the broadcaster confirmed that 'decisions on our output will be made in the lead up to the festival.' Elsewhere, British PM Keir Starmer has now called for the band to be pulled completely from the line-up, stating 'we need to come down really clearly on this.' DJ Provaí from Kneecap performing at Coachella. Pic: Valerie Macon/AFP via Getty Images Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, the Labour politician said he didn't think Kneecap should play Glastonbury. 'I won't say too much, because there's a court case on, but I don't think that's appropriate,' he answered. The band have a string of gigs lined up over the next couple of months, including Boucher Playing Fields in their native Belfast in August. MThe band will play at the OVO Wembley Arena on September 18, with social media users delighted with the announcement. Pic: BENJAMIN CREMEL/AFP via Getty Images Earlier in June, they announced their 'biggest ever headline show outside of Ireland' was set to take place in London in September. The band will play at the OVO Wembley Arena on September 18, with social media users delighted with the announcement. Next month, the band will play at the O2 Academy in Glasgow in a gig they scheduled to 'make up' to their fans after they were pulled from TRNSMT. The axing came after Police Scotland said the band's performance would require a 'significant policing operation.'
