Sixteen pairs participate in the tournament, but Răducanu and Alcaraz generated the greatest interest before the start of the competition. This and as a result of rumors regarding an alleged romantic relationship between them, as noted Sportal.bg.

“They are just good friends. She is a good friend with many players in the circuit said Mark Petchey for OLBG.” Of course, I know there are rumors that she would form a couple. It is not true. They are just good friends. The reality is that I am here just to play tennis. “
Thus, their partnership ended after a single match. However, Alcaraz, 22, will benefit from more rest before the Simple Tournament at the US Open, which begins on Sunday, August 24th. On Monday, the Spanish played the final from Cincinnati against Jannik Sinner. Driving 0-5 in the first set, the Italian withdrew because he didn't feel good.
