Emma Raducanu reportedly splits from billionaire boyfriend ahead of Wimbledon grass court tilt
WTASunday, 09 June 2024 at 15:48
Emma Raducanu has reportedly split up from her billionaire boyfriend, Carlo Agostinelli ahead of her tilt at the grass court season which begins over the next week in Nottingham.
Raducanu decided against playing Roland Garros last month withdrawing from qualifying in order to pursue the grass court season. But it seems like that wasn't the only alteration for the former US Open champion.
The tennis star started dating Agostinelli last May who is the son of Robert Agostinelli who is the co-founder and chairman of private equity firm Rhone Group. His mother is also involved in Dior who sponsor the British star. The pair were spotted arm in arm at Paris Fashion Week and have been on holiday together since with Raducanu spending most of the last year off injured. But they have now gone their separate ways.

According to the report by The Sun, Raducanu called it quits seemingly by blocking him on all social media. “Emma has 2.4million followers on Instagram but Carlo is no longer one of them, a source from The Sun said. “It seems their relationship has run its course.”
She previously spoke as of late in an interview with The Times about her parents resenting her from having a boyfriend when she was younger and going as far as banning her from even seeing her girlfriends in order to focus on making it in the sport. "My parents were very much against [boyfriends] as it interfered with training. When I was younger I wasn’t even allowed to hang out with my girl friends," she said.
"A lot of the time I was very resentful. But it made me very confident and comfortable in my own company, which is also a big strength."
She opens up in Nottingham next week against a qualifier with Marta Kostyuk who is the second seed up likely in the second round. Also after playing in the East Midlands city, she will head to Eastbourne in the intervening weekend and could feasibly join the line-up also for Birmingham if she loses early in Nottingham. With the gamble to skip the French Open, she will hope it pays off and now with this break-up won't have any distractions in plotting her course.

- "This of course a stark change to Rybakina who is obviously more timid..." That just may be the dumbest thing ever written about Lena. For a CCO, Mr. Gill seems to have either made an error in judgement -- or needed filler for this article -- to say something so ridiculous.
mandoist13-09-2026 - “The way I like to put it – no disrespect to anybody – is that this is her house, and all the other girls are just guests, and it’s time for them to go home” Well now... seems John Stacy has made a complete ass of himself. Doubt he'll be receiving any invitations to Lena's "house" any time soon.mandoist13-09-2026
- I am sorry, but Sabalenka has NO EXCUSE for her despicable behaviour. She lacks self and mouth control! The message is being sent but Saba isn't getting it! She is full of arrogance and pride. Hopefully, after this defeat she will be on the way to becoming a humble lady LIKE ELENA! I hope she never regains the world No. 1 until she develops some humility.Rapunzel13-09-2026
- Sabalenka began showing signs of her game gradually 'changing' since last season. I predicted her fascination with posting endless Selfies, participating in commercial media distractions and constant Social Media nonsense could impact her in a negative way. Her off-court Life was sure to interfere with her performace level. Visions of Raducanu, Giorgi, Bouchard come to mind. The Final yesterday was a weird case of polar-opposites. Sabalenka and Rybakina could not be any more different in personalities! Saba often portrays a somewhat fake persona, including her Phony Screaming. Her usual habit of acting like the nice girl with a sense of humor is a misconception. People take her lack of intellect as "cute" and "funny". So anyway... yesterday viewers witnessed that Fake Scream be reduced to a whimper and sometimes no vocal gymnastics at all once she knew the jig was up. We all saw her look into the camera post-match and say "F... You". Also, pretty hard to not see Saba making untoward facial expressions, rolling her eyes, etc., behind Rybakina while on the podium. Elena Rybakina, on the other hand, was her usual 'in-control' self as she spoke clearly and calmly, without making faces nor any ill-will toward anyone = 100% Class Act. Lena appeared more than aware of Saba's sour attitude and made a point of not looking in her direction most of the time. FWIW: I have never -- not ever -- heard Sabalenka make any sounds on practice courts. So it is indeed a nonsensical ruse as she thinks (incorrectly) it affects opponents. It does not. In fact, as was the case yesterday, I saw Lena occasionally take a side-eye glance at Saba on her way to the bench... as if to calculate her emotions. Saba is actually a very easy 'read'.mandoist13-09-2026
- WTA really, really hates this sort of thing. They surely are satisfied to make believe no such thing happens (or happened).mandoist13-09-2026
- WTA and ATP cannot even make their dope testing equal and precise across the board. They sure as hell cannot escape a stituation they themselves made over the ridiculous "penalty" of omitting a player's country flag. Nothing regarding which flags to display (or not) should be a Thing. It proves nothing; solves nothing. If anything, all it did was cause stress, tension, and even outbursts between players in the WTA locker room. Let's not even start with the asinine practice of not shaking hands at the net with "the enemy". There seems to be a general lack of intelligence behind Pro Tennis administrations' Closed Doors. .mandoist13-09-2026
