Emma
Raducanu recently celebrated Carlo Agostinelli's birthday in London.
The
20-year-old tennis player is currently sidelined due to wrist surgery on both
hands and another surgery on her ankle. Her last WTA tour appearance was at the
Stuttgart Open in April of this year, where she lost in the first round to
Jelena Ostapenko.
Since her
stunning victory at the 2021
US Open, the British player has struggled with
constant injuries and has only reached the semifinals of a tournament once, at
the 2022 WTA Seoul Open, where she retired in the match against Ostapenko.
While the
tennis world awaits the return of the former world No. 10, she has been seen on
social media with Carlo Agostinelli, whom the English press speculates is her
boyfriend.
Although
neither Raducanu nor Agostinelli have confirmed their relationship, they have
been spotted together in Mexico City and Paris attending events organized by
Dior, a brand for which Raducanu is an ambassador.
This time,
the former US Open champion was present at Agostinelli's 23rd birthday
celebration at "Oswald's," a luxurious private venue in London.
Currently,
Raducanu is ranked world No. 128 due to her limited tournament appearances and
poor results over the past year. In the first part of 2023, she played in only
five tournaments and her best performance was at Indian Wells, where she won
three consecutive matches, including against the 20th seed Magda Linette and
the 13th seed Beatriz Haddad Maia, but was defeated in the round of 16 by the
world No. 1 Iga Swiatek.
The timing
of Raducanu's return to the WTA tour remains uncertain. The entry list for the
2023 US Open was recently published, and she is not among the players who will
be competing in New York, which means she will miss the tournament that turned
her into a global star.
