Ibiza, Spain –In the midst of a media and sports storm, Carlos Alcaraz has once again the center of attention, but this time out of the clues. Just days after his surprising elimination in Wimbledon 2025, the paparazzi captured images that unleashed a true earthquake in social networks: the young Spanish tennis player enjoying luxurious vacations on a yacht in the company of an equally media figure, the British Emma Raducanu.

But what began as a simple romantic getaway quickly became one of the most commented topics of summer. Not only for the unexpected relationship between two of the most promising talents of world tennis, but for a series of “strange” and even disturbing behaviors aboard the yacht that left fans, media and completely baffled experts.

Alcaraz’s defeat in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon, after falling into sets followed before the Canadian Félix Augusto-Aliassime, caused a wave of criticism for his lack of concentration and attitude on the court. While many expected the Murcia to take refuge in training or public statements about his future, he decided to disappear … literally.

Three days after his elimination, he was sighted on the coast of Ibiza climbing a luxurious yacht next to Emma Raducanu. Rumors about a possible love relationship between the two had been circulating for weeks, but the images of hugs, complicit smiles and Paddle Surf walks confirmed it undeniable.

However, what truly ignited the alarms were a series of videos captured by drones and mobile phones from other tourists who showed the couple performing behaviors … uncommon. In one of the most viral videos, Emma and Carlos are disguised with black layers, singing aloud what many interpreted as a kind of ritual.

Another clip shows Alcaraz throwing petals into the sea while Emma held a glass of wine and recited phrases in Latin. Some Internet users joked that they were “invoking the spirit of Rafael Nadal”, while others wondered if it was a simple joke or a strange private game.

Although their representatives have not issued any official statement, sources close to both ensure that the couple was simply “having fun and escaping the noise of the tennis world.” However, that did not stop the wave of theories in networks: from rituals for good luck, to spiritual practices or even a secret script for a documentary.

The response of fans has been explosive and divided. While a part celebrates the new love stage of both stars – even qualifying them as “the golden couple of tennis” – others consider that Alcaraz is “losing the focus” and that their actions are “a disrespect” towards their career, their followers and the Wimbledon tournament.

“I should be training, not doing shows on a yacht,” wrote a user in X (formerly Twitter). On the other hand, Raducanu fans defended the British: “Emma has suffered enough media pressure. If someone found to be happy, good for her!”

Some British sports media, such asThe Tennis Mirror, they have raised the possibility that the entire getaway be part of a joint public relations strategy, especially because both players have recently signed with the same representation agency.

The presence of professional cameras on the yacht, in addition to a mysterious cameraman who was seen following the couple during the dinner on the mainland, has suspected that perhaps a new content for Netflix or a documentary series about the personal life of the tennis players is being recorded.

Carlos Alcaraz has not made public statements since Wimbledon, and Emma Raducanu canceled an interview with the BBC scheduled for this week. The only confirmed is that both are registered to participate in the US Open 2025, where they could even face … although not in the same category.

Meanwhile, the public is still attentive. Is it true love, a media show or a self -discovery stage for two young stars that grew under the magnifying glass of fame?

The truth is that the yacht in Ibiza has left more questions than answers. And, in a summer where everything seemed to revolve around tennis, Carlos and Emma have shown that sometimes the real news is far from the scoreboard.
