Without Girlfriends, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner Are Tennis' Most Eligible Bachelors originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
There is a Wimbledon tradition where stars like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner head to their box to kiss their wife or girlfriend after winning tennis' most coveted major. Unless one of the stars has a Sunday surprise in store, tennis' two most eligible bachelors will share the moment with their families, absent of any love interest.
Alcaraz and Sinner have a lot in common, aside from being two of the best tennis players on the planet. Rumors will not stop swirling about potential girlfriends for both Alcaraz and Sinner. Both athletes have attempted to dismiss these rumors, but the internet is undefeated.
Alcaraz has been linked to tennis player Emma Raducanu, but both athletes have emphasized there is no romantic involvement.
"We're just good friends," Raducanu told reporters on June 28, when asked about Alcaraz.
Sinner has been in several relationships during his tennis career, most recently with Anna Kalinskaya. In recent months, Sinner was also linked to model Laila Hasanovic, but the tennis player quickly dismissed these rumors.
'There's a lot of attention,' Sinner noted in May, via Tennis Up to Date. 'Also, off the court, I was surprised to see some pictures, which, nothing serious. I'm not in a relationship!"
Alcaraz has been a bit more private but declared himself single during a June 2024, interview with The Sunday Times' Matthew Syed.
'No, I am single,' Alcaraz noted. 'I am looking for someone. It can be difficult as a tennis player to meet the right person because you are traveling all the time.'
As for Sinner, the tennis star has taken notice that the top stars typically have the support of a partner.
"Of course it's not easy, I travel a lot and during tournaments I'm very focused," Sinner told Vanity Fair's Federico Rocca during a June 4, 2024, interview. "But I think it's a wonderful thing when you find the right love like everyone else.
"And then, if you think about it, the best tennis players in the world all have wives and children."
If either tennis player is dating someone, they are both doing a good job of keeping the relationship private. All signs point to the next Wimbledon champion being single, increasing the appeal of their most eligible bachelor status.

Euro 2025: England's title defence alive as Lionesses produce performance for the ages

Sailing through: Lionesses were far too strong for Wales (AFP via Getty Images) Reports of England's death are greatly exaggerated. The Lionesses are through to the quarter-finals, and in some style. Long forgotten is their defeat to France after following up Wednesday's 4-0 victory over the Netherlands with a 6-1 win over a hapless Wales side in St. Gallen. Advertisement Wales head coach Rhian Wilkinson had said pre-game the pressure was all on England, who needed to match the Netherlands' result to qualify. There were, however, no signs that said pressure weighed heavily on the Lionesses. England have never lost to Wales. In fact, they've never been beaten by a home nation at a major tournament. So, when Georgia Stanway put them into a 13th-minute lead from the penalty spot, it felt like business as usual. It was all too easy for England, who had hardly broken a sweat before Ella Toone doubled their advantage in the 21st minute, with Lauren Hemp adding a third on the half-hour mark with a back-post header. Central to England's dominance was the performance of Alessia Russo, who shut down the outside noise with a goal and an assist inside 44 minutes. Advertisement Infantile social media talk of 'PRusso' has been quickly put to bed in the last two games, and there's no doubt that she is the woman to lead the line for the Lionesses. Her goal, finishing into an empty net after Toone's cut-back, will have done the Arsenal forward a world of good heading into Thursday's quarter-final with Sweden. Sarina Wiegman's side were as ruthless as they had been in picking apart the Netherlands. They were, however, helped by some naive Welsh defending; first from Carrie Jones to concede a penalty as Stanway moved away from goal, before Rhiannon Roberts cleared the ball off Hemp, allowing Russo to nick in and pull the ball back for Toone to score. Advertisement It is the mark of defending champions, the way England have regrouped after such a rudderless performance against France in their opening group game. Leaders have stepped up, and Lauren James has moved the needle through the sheer force of her talent. The 'group of death' could have proved terminal for an England side in transition, but Wiegman has managed a menagerie of moving parts with a quiet confidence. Beth Mead and Hannah Cain traded goals as Wales gave a better account of themselves in the second half, but the contest had been over long before Cain rifled in from Jess Fishlock's pinpoint pass to give Wales a rare moment to cheer. Advertisement Implosion is implicit when it comes to England and tournament football. Yet whether it is bringing Toone in at No10 or allowing James to roam in the right-hand channel, Wiegman has kept her cool, making small tweaks with big impacts. What were you worried about? England, who had the last laugh when Aggie Beever-Jones added a sixth goal at the death, have made light work of their last two group games, scoring 10 and conceding just once, to secure their place in the knockout stages. Wiegman's side have reacted emphatically to their first group stage defeat at a major tournament in 10 years with two performances for the ages.

Snow Patrol shout out THIS Glasgow venue as they close TRNSMT 2025

Snow Patrol gave a shout out to an iconic Glasgow venue as they closed TRNSMT 2025 tonight. Dedicating Chasing Cars to Glasgow, Gary Lightbody (lead singer) of Snow Patrol, thanked King Tut's Wah Wah Hut for helping them when they were first starting out and living in the city. Gary told the crowd: "When we first moved to Glasgow in 1998, we would rock up to the front of King Tut's with our guitars and ask if we could play on the stage after the doors opened. "Every time they would let us play, they would also feed us. When you're a new band who are just starting out, stuff like that means the world. So, I would like to thank every place in Glasgow that helped us like Tut's and Nice N Sleazy. "I also want to shout out all the amazing bands from Glasgow too. There are too many to name." (Image: Picture credit: Lesley Martin/PA Wire) The Northern Irish–Scottish rock band, who formed in Dundee back in 1994, declared that playing in Glasgow felt like coming home. Speaking on the importance of the city to the band, Gary said: "This city was a big part of our life and is a really important part of our journey as a band." (Image: Picture credit: Lesley Martin/PA Wire) Having lived in the city for 10 years, they wrote some of their biggest hits here, such as Run. During their hour and a bit set, the group played their big hits as well as a song from their new album as Gary humorously told the crowd: "It was going to happen at some point. Don't panic, nobody panic." (Image: Picture credit: Lesley Martin/PA Wire) Perhaps the best part of Snow Patrol's set though was the joy on the band's faces. I couldn't help but smile as a huge grin spread across Gary's face every time the crowd sung the lyrics back to him. He was buzzing, thrilled and any other positive word you could think of. But most of all, there was a look of thankfulness and gratitude to be in Glasgow, to be on that main stage and to be headlining this festival. You could see Gary taking it all in, as if he was having his own 'I made it' moment. There's something beautiful about seeing a globally renowned band feeling so appreciated by our city. But, it's what we do best, isn't it? Making people feel at home, appreciating what they have to offer to us and of course, enjoying live music. I can't say I was particularly a fan of the band before the show, nor had I ever really listened to them, but Snow Patrol's set made me want to devour their albums and immerse myself in their sound. Though I said I wasn't particularly a fan of the band before the show, I certainly am now.

Jannik Sinner, Girlfriend Shared Public Kiss Before Breakup

Tennis star Jannik Sinner is not married, and he doesn't even have a girlfriend, at least as far as anyone knows. But he once did have a girlfriend, a very prominent one in fact, and they shared some PDA. Advertisement In fact, a kiss between Sinner and his then girlfriend, tennis star Anna Kalinskaya was captured in a series of photos published by Getty Images. The kiss came in 2024 after Sinner defeated Taylor Fritz to win the men's singles final at the U.S. Open that year. But the relationship was not to be, and Sinner said in May that he is no longer in a relationship. He also previously dated a model named Maria Braccini, and he has swatted down rumors that he was seeing another model named Lara Leito. Jannik Sinner of Italy celebrates with his girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya after defeating Taylor Fritz of the United States to win the Men's Singles Final on Day Fourteen of the 2024 US Open at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on September 08, 2024 in the Flushing neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York to People, Sinner confirmed that he was dating Kalinskaya, a professional tennis player from Russia, in May 2024. The U.S. Open kiss came in September 2024. Advertisement They were also seen together at Wimbledon, the site reports. However, a year later, the relationship was confirmed to be over, when Sinner told the media that he was single at a post-match press conference, People reported. Sinner made it clear in an interview with Vanity Fair Italia that it can be difficult to be a professional tennis player and have a relationship. That interview was in June 2024. "Of course, it's not easy, I travel a lot and during tournaments, I'm very focused. But I think it's a beautiful thing when you find the right love. Like for everyone," he said to the publication. "And then, if you think about it, the best tennis players in the world all have wives and children." According to WTA Tennis, Kalinskaya is currently ranked #39 in the world among women's tennis players. Sinner, of course, is ranked #1 among the men and is playing in the Wimbledon final on July 13 against Carlos Alcaraz as his star continues to rise.
