Carlos Alcaraz has suggested he “will do whatever she wants me to do” ahead of his mixed doubles partnership with Emma Raducanu.
The 22-year-old tennis stars are set to team up at the US Open later this year and spoke ahead of the Wimbledon's mixed doubles draw on Wednesday.
Speaking after their winning matches at Wimbledon, Raducanu asked: “I would like to know how much of the court he can cover in New York?!”
The Spaniard replied: “I’m just gonna serve and I’m gonna pull myself away and I let her play.

“She will cover a lot of the court. She will be the boss! I will do whatever she wants me to do.”
Both players have already enjoyed victorious starts at the All England Club, despite going about their games in different fashions.
Alcaraz survived a five-set thriller to advance against the outgoing Fabio Fognini, while Raducanu won her all-British affair with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over teenager Mimi Xu.
The anticipation around the two linking up on court has been rising, as rumours of a relationship between the two circulate.

When asked how the partnership came about, Raducanu said: "I mean, of course, I had to ask my team if they wanted me to play.
"But for me, when he asked me, I was going to say yes, I just had to kind of go through the formality of asking my coach, so I didn't just make the decision."
