Carlos Alcaraz sends touching message to Jannik Sinner after shock Cincinnati Open final retirement - Sinner confirmed he came into the final struggling with illness and realised he could not continue

The new-look US Open mixed doubles event starts on Tuesday, with Carlos Alcaraz set to feature alongside Emma Raducanu amongst a star-studded list of pairs. New for 2025, the mixed doubles in New York will be staged on the two biggest courts – Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong – over Tuesday 19 August and Wednesday 20 August.

Alcaraz has never had a wife. In fact, his girlfriend history is also scant, with only one name credibly emerging. Tennis Tonic reported that Alcaraz once dated a woman named Maria Gonzalez Gimenez when he was 18, but they split.

Carlos led 20-14 in service winners and dominated the baseline 36-20. He landed 28 winners and 24 unforced errors, sailing over the top and prevailing for the ultimate test with more hours on the practice court.
