British tennis star Jack Draper was asked about compatriot Emma Raducanu's decision to partner with Carlos Alcaraz for mixed doubles.

Carlos Alcaraz has revealed he personally reached out to Emma Raducanu to form a high-profile mixed doubles team for the radically revamped US Open event, calling the Brit “the boss” in their new partnership.

Emma Raducanu will team up with French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz in the mixed doubles at the US Open, with a prize of $1 million (£741,000) on offer for the winners. The new doubles team – who can expect to be given a portmanteau nickname of either “Alcaranu” or “Raducaraz” – are one of several eye-catching partnerships set to make their debuts in New York in August.
