Emma Raducanu has expressed her frustration over the constant speculation surrounding her personal life, describing one press conference incident as "terrible".
The British tennis star is about to take the court alongside Carlos Alcaraz in the US Open mixed doubles competition, with the pair's relationship a constant source of romance rumours.
Raducanu is currently enjoying arguably her best season since coming from nowhere to win the US Open in 2021 but it is off-court matters that have often taken the headlines. She was spotted attending one of Alcaraz's matches at Queen's earlier this summer and there we even reports of a hotel visit involving the two.
However, the 22 year old firmly stated at the time that she and the two-time former Wimbledon champion were "just friends" and she has now addressed the situation in an interview with The Guardian.
The British No1 said: "I guess I'm like, it comes with the territory, people being so curious.
"I think they're more curious about this news than any tennis results and tennis news.

"But I just keep myself to myself, my private life to one side.
"It's always amusing when people try to dig something up, but I try not to pay too much attention to it."

During Wimbledon, British tennis player Cam Norrie was oddly asked if he was dating Raducanu in a press conference by a foreign reporter.
The perplexed player, who is in a long-term relationship with girlfriend Louise Jacobi, responded: "Sorry?!"
The reporter then clarified: "I am trying to find out who is dating Emma Raducanu. It seems to be a question circulating among all the men's singles... I was wondering if you're dating her, please?"

A visibly uncomfortable Norrie then responded: "I'm not, no. You can ask her. I don't know.
Reacting to that awkward exchange, Raducanu chuckled before commenting: "That was terrible, terrible."

Anthony Joshua faces a ‘tough call' in decision to fight Jake Paul or Tyson Fury as star risks hurting his iconic legacy
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FRANK WARREN fears Anthony Joshua's iconic legacy could be hurt by his final opponent being Jake Paul instead of Tyson Fury. The 35-year-old Watford heavyweight is a London 2012 Olympic legend and a two-time world champion. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Anthony Joshua is in shock talks to fight Jake Paul Credit: AFP 5 Tyson Fury is still in retirement Credit: Getty 5 Jake Paul could be one of AJ's final opponents Credit: Getty But we have to go back to 2019 for his last top-level win - the rematch title win over a bloated Andy Ruiz Jr. Back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk and the September shellacking from Daniel Dubois sandwich a string of mid-level wins over Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin and MMA fighter Francis Ngannou. Now serious talks are underway and snowballing over a circus showdown with 28-year-old child-actor-turned-pantomime-boxer Paul. And 73-year-old hall-of-fame promoter Warren agrees that an AJ record that ends with cage kicker Ngannou instead of Deontay Wilder - and the Disney dwarf instead of Gypsy giant - will not be a fitting finale READ MORE IN boxing JAKE TO SAY AJ will KO Jake Paul with ease but it doesn't make fight dangerous, claims Haye 'I hear what you're saying,' the Queensberry boss told SunSport ahead of his new starlet Moses Itauma's clash with Dillian Whyte. "He's done magnificently. He was a runner up in the amateur world championships, I thought he got robbed. 'He won that gold medal in the Olympics, in London, which brought a lot of attention to the sport and it was fabulous. He was involved in some really good fights. 'AJ has paid his dues but there is a lot to be said about it because I think Tyson and AJ is the fight that everybody wants to see. 5 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS 'It's a tough call for him if it happens. A tough, tough call.' Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn dropped the ball when he admitted that the swansong of his career hinges on 37-year-old Fury picking up the phone and accepting the overdue fight. David Haye reveals why Jake Paul's controversial fight with Anthony Joshua isn't dangerous and instead 'quite safe' Instead the Morecambe Traveller has retired - again - filmed a new Netflix series and renewed his wedding vows for a second time. Life looks like one long holiday for the father-of-seven while Team Joshua is working overtime behind the scenes to make sure the Dubois demolition is not the final scene in his highlight-reel career. 'It's the fight everybody's talked about for God knows how many years now,' Warren said about the biggest fight in British boxing. 'It's gone on for around 10 years and it's not happened yet and it may happen, it may not, I don't know. 'I'm not giving away any secrets when I say the fight Tyson really wants again is Usyk. 'And whether you love him or you, whether you like him or you don't like him, you love him or you hate the facts of the matter is he has added and he adds and brings so much entertainment and excitement to the division.' The couple of times I have spoken to him, over the last couple of months, he HAS spoken about fighting. Frank Warren on Tyson Fury Fury's two thrilling losses to the 38-year-old Ukraine genius were box-office but there is no need for a third installment. Before he jetted off with the huge family to repeat his nuptials, he was regularly training and teasing another comeback. But Warren does not know if he's staying in shape to throw AJ a bone or keep his own brain fighting fit. He explained: 'He's he's got his Netflix series which they're filming at the moment and he's in a good place. 'I haven't spoken to him that much lately because it's family time, especially now they're all on school holiday. 'It's no secret that he goes to the gym to maintain that discipline, his physical wellbeing, but also for his mental wellbeing, it does help him, which is great. 'The couple of times I have spoken to him, over the last couple of months, he HAS spoken about fighting. 'But I am not going to encourage him to do that, that's down to him. 'Next year will be quite interesting, I think once all this filming all stops and so forth, he'll make a decision, if he hasn't already.'

I was so stressed after my dream £6k honeymoon cruise was cancelled my face COLLAPSED & was left PARALYSED
Gail was told the cruise was being cancelled as she prepared to board FACE IT I was so stressed after my dream £6k honeymoon cruise was cancelled my face COLLAPSED & was left PARALYSED Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A NEWLY-WED'S face collapsed from stress after her dream honeymoon was cancelled at the last minute. Gail Morgan, 50, suffered a Bell's Palsy attack, paralysing the muscles down one side of her face after the £6,000 cruise was postponed just prior to boarding - and then axed completely. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Gail Morgan's face collapsed down one side due to stress Credit: Gail Morgan 3 Gail was all smiles on her wedding day before the honeymoon nightmare Credit: Gail Morgan 3 Gail and her husband Pepe Davis Credit: Gail Morgan Gail and new husband Pepe Davies, 53, from Wales, had flown out to Miami following their glam wedding only to be told the liner had suffered a "technical issue". They say, subsequently, their treatment by operator Celebrity Cruises has been "disgusting" - and they've only received a third of the value back as vouchers. Gail told The Sun: 'I was inconsolable. I broke down in tears. 'The heartbreak of losing our honeymoon and my 50th birthday trip, a holiday we had looked forward to for years, was overwhelming. 'And still, not a single word of communication from Celebrity Cruises. 'I recently completed my masters in social care, and this was also meant to celebrate my achievement. 'But the very next day, my facial muscles on the right side of my face stiffened up. 'Since then, my face has been stiff. I'm still going through it.' Upon return to the UK, a doctor's assessment confirmed that the 'emotional trauma and psychological stress' were 'direct contributing factors to the onset of Bell's Palsy'. The cruise was due to depart from Port Miami on July 20. Inside Love Island winners Kai and Sanam's lavish honeymoon in Bali Initially, the cruise was delayed by a day, before it was cancelled due to a 'technical issue' affecting the liner's speed. Morgan added: 'We're working class people from a small village in Wales. 'It took us three years to save for this, skipping out on holidays and life's little luxuries. 'This was meant to be a milestone. 'Celebrity Cruises didn't even inform us of the initial delay and then the outright cancellation. 'We were informed by strangers who overheard our conversations. 'When we finally knew that it was cancelled, we couldn't even make emergency calls and had to borrow people's phones because we had British numbers.' Morgan and Davies were issued with a credit voucher each, both totalling £2,619. However, Morgan told The Sun: 'This is not good enough. 'First of all, you can't use the vouchers together, you can only use one voucher per cruise. 'You can't use the vouchers on special offers either, forcing people like us, who are working class, to pay for more expensive cruises. 'On top of that, they said they can't reimburse us for other charges incurred, like the taxi fee to get to the hotel. 'We didn't ask for any of this, and the way they have treated us has been disgusting.' A spokesperson for Celebrity Cruises said: "Celebrity Cruises is in contact with the guest and their travel agent directly on this matter."
