But there have been suggestions the duo are linking up off it, too, especially after she watched the Spaniard in action at Queen's.
A source exclusively revealed to SunSport the pair had a 'spark' and arrived at Queen's within minutes of each other amid suggestions of spending cosy days together.
But Raducanu played down their possible relationship by giggling "we're just good friends" before Wimbledon started.
However, after Wednesday's emphatic Centre Court victory over Marketa Vondrousova, she joked she had never been heartbroken.

Among the VIPs in the Royal Box for the match was Olivia Rodrigo, fresh from her Glastonbury headline set.
Raducanu claimed she did not know who was in the posh seats when she spoke in her on-court interview, insisting she was so focused on her match to notice.
When speaking to the BBC, though, she confessed she had spotted golfer Tommy Fleetwood.
But when told American singer-songwriter Rodrigo was in the crowd, Raducanu came back with a quick and cheeky response.

Carlos Alcaraz claims he 'will do whatever she wants me to do' in revealing Emma Raducanu interview after Wimbledon win
The BBC interviewer replied: "Thanks for the advice."
Then the tennis ace laughed: "I wouldn't know though, of course not."
Raducanu - who was told she was banned from having a boyfriend by her parents growing up - previously went out with billionaire heir Carlo Agostinelli, a former Harrow School head boy.
Ex-Tottenham academy footballer Carlo is the son of tycoon Robert Agostinelli.
The couple got together in May 2023 and were arm-in-arm at Paris Fashion Week as well as enjoying luxury holidays together in Greece and Mexico.

But after they split up, they unfollowed each other on social media.
On her relationship with Alcaraz and how they became friends, Raducanu said: "I've known him for years.
"Wimbledon 2021 was the first time I started getting to know him, and I had a good run there and then also again in the US Open in 2021.
"We have a good relationship still. He's obviously overtaken me a lot, but it's nice that we have that from a while ago.
"I think for all of us, we really kind of value those connections that we had from when we were young because when you become a bit more known or a bit more successful, you just find yourself reverting back to people you knew from a young age because you're like, that's a real genuine connection.
"Because it becomes very busy and you have a lot more friends but the ones that you've known for a long time mean a lot more to you."

Alex Mitchell helps error-prone Lions edge past gritty NSW Waratahs
So much for the theory that the British & Irish Lions are building smoothly towards this month's start to the Test series against the Wallabies. Exactly how many members of this Lions team will feature in the first Test starting XV remains to be seen but here was a reminder that Australian opposition are not necessarily going to wave their visitors through when the bigger games come around. In the end it took a 54th-minute try by the scrum-half Alex Mitchell to save his side's blushes in an encounter that will sit uneasily with the management at this delicate stage of the trip. Two first-half tries from the alert Huw Jones and a typically energetic display from Ben Earl in the back row were among a rather short list of positives with the first match of the best-of-three Test series less than a fortnight away. Instead it was an evening mostly notable for fumbled balls, constant breaks in play and a gritty effort from the home pack. Few had been expecting much, given the last team from New South Wales to beat the Lions did so in 1959, but the Waratahs did an excellent job of dragging their guests down to earth. There is plenty to ponder for all concerned, including Owen Farrell, who was watching from the stands having officially joined the tour. Nobody involved could really blame the conditions. Clive James wrote poetically about the 'crushed diamond water' of Sydney Harbour beneath 'a sky the texture of powdered sapphires' and both had been in glorious evidence earlier in the day. The light coating of dew on the pitch, though, contributed to enough handling errors to make the contest much scrappier than the touring team would have liked. Frustratingly for the Lions, too, there had been significant disruption to their hopeful advance plans. Henry Pollock had to withdraw with a tight calf before kick-off, prompting a reshuffle that meant Scott Cummings was promoted from the bench and Tadhg Beirne was switched to the blindside flank. Duhan van der Merwe was a late addition to the matchday squad, scuppering the intended 6-2 forward-dominated bench split. NSW Waratahs Creighton; Kellaway, Foketi, Walton, Lancaster; Bowen, Wilson; Lambert, Dobbins, Tupou, Lee-Warner, Amatosero, Leota, Gamble, Sinclair (capt). Replacements Vailanu, Barrett, Botha, Philip, Adamson, Grant, Edmed, O'Donnell. Tries Lancaster, Dobbins. British and Irish Lions Keenan, Hansen, Jones, Tuipulotu, Kinghorn, Smith, Mitchell; Schoeman, Cowan-Dickie, Bealham, Cummings, Ryan, Beirne (capt),Van der Flier, Earl. Replacements Sheehan, Genge, Furlong, McCarthy, Morgan, White, M Smith, Van der Merwe. Tries Jones 2, Mitchell. Cons F Smith Paul Williams (NZ). They did still have some cohesive partnerships, however, and the all-Scottish centre pairing of Sione Tuipulotu and Jones were soon combining sweetly, the former producing a cunning no-look offload to send his partner scampering over. There was to be a further illustration of Jones's skill set eight minutes before the interval when some nifty footwork close to the line brought him his second of the game and his third try in four days on tour. A desire to keep a close eye on the Wallabies' new star Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, however, may yet boost the case for Ireland's hard-tackling Garry Ringrose at 13 if the latter shows up well in Canberra on Wednesday. At least Jones can tell himself he could not done much more and has presented the management with a genuine dilemma. The Waratahs, for their part, had a potential score for flanker Charlie Gamble ruled out for obstruction in the preceding maul but enjoyed a touch more fortune when a vigorous clear-out in the buildup to their first try by Darby Lancaster was ruled as legal. Once again, though, protracted analysis of inconclusive slow-motion replays in a fast-paced contact sport remains a passion killer for live spectators and television viewers alike. Hugo Keenan will also not want endless replays of the tackle that temporarily floored but did not stop Lancaster's surge down the left. And less than two minutes after the restart, the home side scored again, the hooker Ethan Dobbins being propelled over by a well-organised driven maul. Sign up to The Breakdown The latest rugby union news and analysis, plus all the week's action reviewed after newsletter promotion Suddenly it was 14-10 and the Lions were looking over their shoulders. They were also failing to take some clear chances. Josh van der Flier could not quite ground the ball in the left corner when a try looked all but certain and, shortly afterwards, Mack Hansen kicked ahead when he might have kept the ball in hand and taken on the cover. They were suitably grateful, therefore, to the quick-witted Mitchell for rebooting the contest and easing the tension, even if the visitors' overall performance did not match the setting. The new Allianz Stadium, next door to the evocative Sydney Cricket Ground, has been built on the same site as its predecessor and is an impressive state-of-the-art facility. All Australian rugby needs now is a national team to match the quality of their arenas – and preferably quickly. In addition to the Lions series the pressure is on to improve their eighth position in the World Rugby rankings, with the draw for the next men's World Cup, to be staged here in 2027, set to take place in January. It would not be a great look if the Wallabies were to bow out prematurely at their own tournament as England did in 2015, which makes the rest of this year hugely significant.
