Carlos Alcaraz targets the Wimbledon quarterfinals on Sunday against a piano-loving Frenchman, while Raducanu is eyeing semifinal berth.
Emma Raducanu has British fans dreaming she can add the 2024 Wimbledon title to her 2021 US Open crown, while American Ben Shelton is following in his father's footsteps.Carlos Alcaraz is chasing a fourth Grand Slam title and attempting to become just the sixth man to win the French Open and Wimbledon back-to-back."I realise that I'm good player in the fifth set. I push the opponent just to be at his 100 per cent physically and mentally, and play at his 100 per cent.
Away from the courts, the left-handed French No 1 can be found playing the piano, a passion since he was five years old."When you play piano, you are only with you. It's great to have the time to be alone, to enjoy. In tennis, it's the opposite."Three years after her breakthrough summer when a run to the last 16 at Wimbledon was followed by an historic US Open title, Emma Raducanu is making headlines again.
She is guaranteed to earn at least $340 000 for her efforts – more than she has made in her entire career so far. "We're back, big dog," the 21-year-old American told his dad after seeing off Denis Shapovalov in the third round.
