Emma Raducanu 'really wants' a relationship with Carlos Alcaraz, a body language expert has claimed.
The tennis duo are currently preparing for this year's Wimbledon, with Alcaraz hoping to win the prestigious tournament for the third time on the trot.
In the build-up to the big event, Raducanu and Alcaraz have found themselves the centre of speculation romantically linking the pair.
Raducanu, speaking ahead of the Grand Slam, responded to the rumours with a little giggle and said: "We're just good friends."

However, body langage expert Darren Stanton has analysed Raducanu's press conference and suggested that she 'really wants' a relationship with Alcaraz, providing there isn't one already.
He told OLBG: “I've never seen somebody jump from a neutral position to like a joy, happiness, elated, giddy emotion ever in my career.
"I think if something's not already going on, she really wants it to.
“It was literally like flicking a switch. I don't often make statements like that. She's gone from 0 to 160 in about one-fifth of a second, in terms of her emotion.

“So, most definitely, if it isn't going on, she really wants it to, but I think there could definitely be a bit of disclosure happening at some point with these two.
“I think even if it's not in the throes of a romantic relationship, I think all the kind of foundations and groundwork are there for them to be in a romantic relationship.”
Both tennis players are believed to be single at the current moment in time.
Raducanu was previously in a relationship with billionaire Carlo Agostinelli, with the pair together for a year.

However, they split in June last year after the relationship had apparently 'run its course'.
Raducanu and Alcaraz will play doubles together at the US Open later in the year, which has further fuelled rumours of a possible romance.
And that's something the British star is looking forward to, having previously won the singles back in 2021.
"Yeah, I'm really happy obviously to be playing with him," she stated.

Furthermore, Raducanu also shed light on how well they get along. When asked how their bond started, she said: "He's so nice, very happy, amazing values and just a really positive light to be around.
"I've known him for years. Wimbledon 2021 was the first time I started getting to know him.
"He was always playing the day before me, I would see him win and then I would have motivation to win and get myself into that position too.
