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."

Major sporting event to disappear from free-to-air TV within weeks as ITV prepare to broadcast for final time
ITV'S iconic commentary duo of Ned Boulting and David Millar are gearing up for one last lap around France. That's because, after this year, the world's most famous bike race will disappear from free-to-air TV coverage. 2 The Tour de France will disappear from free-to-air TV after this year 2 ITV is pulling out of cycling coverage in 2026, meaning Warner Bros Discovery channels will take over When the last rider crosses the finish line on the Champs-Elysees on July 27 - in less than four weeks' time - it will mark the end of four decades of free-to-air Tour de France coverage for those on British soil. ITV is pulling out of cycling coverage in 2026, meaning Warner Bros Discovery channels - otherwise known as TNT Sports channels and online streaming service Discovery+ - will be the only place cycling fans can watch their favourite sport in the UK. Last year it was announced that TNT would be absorbing all cycling coverage shown on Eurosport, with the channel disappearing at the end of February. ITV4 will continue to show live coverage of the race this year, but fans are faced with a dilemma from then onwards - fork out £30 a month for a TNT subscription or watch the highlights later on. Read More on Cycling According to reports, Warner Bros could still show highlights on free-to-air TV, with Quest being among the contenders having shown highlights of the Giro d'Italia in May. Just two years out from Britain once again hosting the Grand Depart for a fifth time, Tour de France general director Christian Prudhomme said he hopes there will be a resolution. Speaking in March at the confirmation that the UK would host stages in England, Wales and Scotland in 2027, Prudhomme said: "I do hope, and I do believe that the stages in the UK will be live and free to air in 2027. "But there will be discussions. We're optimistic.' Most read in Cycling This year's edition of Le Tour rolls out the northern French city of Lille on Saturday, barely an hour's drive from Calais.

'Musicians - Stop being self-elected martyrs on stage & get back to rock n'roll'
It's the debate of the moment: should musicians get political on stage? It's come up again after the most controversial, angry Glastonbury ever, with plenty of acts getting in on the Kneecap zeitgeist. The answer is: No they shouldn't, for one main reason - it's boring. It's the opposite of rock n' roll. It's painfully pompous. It's as tedious and predictable as a beauty queen going on about world peace, and has about as much depth. I love music, but musicians can be docile morons. Many will say whatever it takes to make everyone love them. For every superbrain like David Bowie, there's an absolute thick wielding a mic. I respect them creatively more than any other artists, yet the uninformed, performative blather they've the hubris to come out with is mortifying. It's generally student politics stuff, safely in line with establishment consensus, yet held up as being punk and brave. So it's also hypocritical, as well as pretentious, self-promoting and publicity-seeking. Sincere activists are admirable, no matter if you agree with their cause or not, but bandwagon-jumpers do campaigns more harm than good. Take the Glastonbury fiasco over last weekend, when there was a queue of bands and singers trampling over one another to take to the stage and bash Israel. It's the easiest thing in the world to do, at the present political moment. And it guarantees attention. One of those subject to a police hate speech probe is punk duo Bob Vylan, who chanted: 'Death to the IDF.' Up to last week you would have said: 'Bob Who?' So, job done. The hate speech laws in Britain are wrong, in my view; censoring and heavy-handed. Yet those who sacrificed free speech to support them are now the same ones complaining about them, seemingly only realising such laws are for all. Hate that. Belfast rap trio Kneecap have morphed into performance artists with a gift for publicity. They think they're subversive, mocking Maggie Thatcher, who was last British PM back in 1990 and is dead 13 years. At the recent gig in Dublin's Fairview, Mo Chara told the crowd; 'F**k Kemi Badenoch.' Few in the Republic could tell you who Badenoch is. But where's the fun in any of it? As a music fan, I'd prefer if musicians left politics aside at live gigs and instead delivered tear-the-roof-off shows worthy of Sly and the Family Stone. And the argument that 'musicians wouldn't have to speak if politicians did their job right' is whiny, entitled, self-martyrdom. Do you actually think you've the power to change anything? Thankfully, all the smart, genuine artists know this. They put any social commentary in the songs - which is from the heart and has far greater effect. Ireland's live music queen Roisin Murphy is one of the most clear-minded on the issue, posting during the week about it: 'Division is running through its veins. Ego and self-hood is destroying the music scene. No fun, no unity, creativity last. It's empty.' Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson pinpointed Glastonbury as one of the hotspots for such preening indulgence. He previously labelled the festival 'the most bourgeois thing on the planet' and said he'd refuse a spot on the line-up, as he didn't want to play 'in front of Gwyneth Paltrow and a perfume-infused yurt'. Noel Gallagher deserves the last word. The Oasis singer said Glastonbury had become 'preachy and virtue-signally'. 'I don't like it in music. Little f**king idiots waving flags around and taking to the stage saying: 'Hey guys, isn't war terrible, yeah? Let's all boo war.' And all that. It's like: look. Play your f**king tunes and get off.'

'If the planet is going to have billionaires, we need them to sign this pre-nup'
I'd have paid good money to be a fly on the wall at the Bezos wedding's Great Gatsby-themed bash in Venice. Not that any such lowly creature would have made it within the gilded walls of one of the most expensive and repulsive nuptials of the modern age. The billionaire groom and Amazon owner probably had every fly swatting service and insect repellent contractor in town on the payroll. Nothing that could be bought was left to chance when he wed bride Lauren Sanchez in the City of Love last week. Every desire and whim had its price. The hotel rooms went for €4,000 a night. The entire Venetian water taxi fleet, a mere €1.5 million for three days. There was two mill for private jet travel. Throw in the same again for the fees to stage a party on the half-billion euro yacht. Then raise it the same again for wedding rings to match what was already shelled out on an engagement ring. The tsunami of vulgarity even managed to put a figure on one of humanity's priceless heritage treasures - Venice itself - which was bought like a trinket as a selfie filter for the weekend. Still, it would have been worth that fly making its way to a wall draped in Renaissance masters just to let us all know, did they get it at all? The irony? Here was the fourth richest guy in the world, dropping around €40 billion for a party. And everyone was dressed as if they were in the pages of F. Scott Fitzgerald's great novel on the dark heart of the American dream. A cautionary tale of the pursuit of materialism and wealth at the cost of all else – including your morality and your soul. We know the guest list was well heeled, sprinkled with Kardashians and Trumps. But we don't know if they were that well-read. We do know at least one guest had seen the movie version of Gatsby. Leonardo di Caprio was in it. That was before he made those woke, tree-hugging flicks about saving the planet. That must have raised a giggle as the squadron of 90 private planes swarmed in, belching their fumes into the scorching skies over Europe's holiday destinations. But maybe Leo and the gang did get the irony. Maybe this court of the billionaire aristocrats is happy to party on, in the full knowledge their lust and craving for privilege at any cost to the rest of us is corrupting the soul of that same American dream that haunts Gatsby. The mathematics of even becoming a billionaire – there are now close to 4,000 in the world – can only work by excluding as many other little people as you can from that dream of a decent life. Almost four billion people in the world need to live on the same amount that this gilded 4,000 have hoarded. In 2024, the combined wealth of the billionaire class was $15 trillion. The wealth of the world's 10 richest men including Bezos, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg grew on average by almost $100 million a day that year. Meanwhile, the number of people living in poverty has barely changed since 1990, according to World Bank data. Of course Jeff Bezos, being a smart guy, isn't banking on the course of true love running straight. He ensured he signed a pre-nuptial agreement with his new bride that ensures she can't waltz away with his treasures if the spark dies. So maybe that's precisely what the little people – and the planet – should require of anyone who we tie the knot with and allow amass billion-dollar fortunes and the privilege of emitting more climate heating carbon in 90 minutes than the rest of us do in a lifetime A people's pre-nup might lay down some rules for when things turn sour. Like if our billionaire overlords ever decide they can't stand the sight of us any more, they will still agree to paying more than their fair share of tax for the help we gave them along the way. They could keep their jewels, but - fair being fair - the rest of humanity would still keep access to treasures like art and beauty and the world's great heritage cities. We owned human empathy and democracy before we met you, so we are not letting you have those in any split – Elon we're looking at you. Sovereignty and the rule of international law are not to be divided up like the good delph either. Come to that, we want custody too of rights to public treasures like education, health, welfare and a liveable climate. And, sorry if we are getting greedy here, but if it's not too much can we add ending global poverty. Don't worry we are not vindictive. We don't want you to end it 22 times which is what you could afford with your cash pile. Once will do. But if your side is feeling generous with what's left we would happily take equality, clean water, sanitation, clean energy, decent work, infrastructure, sustainable cities, responsible consumption, peace and justice – oh and cancel a few debts. Basically all the sustainability and development goals thanks. In exchange maybe you could keep in the region of €50 million each and a few yachts to make sure you don't end up in the workhouse. And unlike the last crowd of peasants that decided they had enough of the ruling aristocracy, we will also let you keep your heads.
