Tennis scandal: Emma Raducanu, alleged girlfriend of Alcaraz, attacks Sinner with ultimatum and insults: “Fortunately he won!”

The world of tennis was shaken by an explosion of controversy after the victory of Carlos Alcaraz against Jannik Sinner in the final of the US Open 2025. Emma Raducanu, British tennis player and alleged girlfriend of Alcaraz, has triggered an uproar with a vitriole attack against Sinner, defining his victories, the result of “luck and preferences of the ATP”. His words, accompanied by a ultimatum at the ATP, became viral on social media, generating a wave of reactions and a response measured by Sinner.

A ultimatum that makes you tremble

After the triumph of Alcaraz for 6-3, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 against Sinner, who allowed him to regain the top of the world ranking, Emma Raducanu took on the platform X with a series of incendiary posts. “Jannik Sinner won only fortunately and for the preference of the ATP,” wrote Raducanu. “Carlos is the true dominant of tennis, and as long as Sinner played in his own era, he will never be acclaimed as number one in the world.” He then added an ultimatum: “The ATP must recognize Carlos’ superiority, or the fans will demand justice.”

The accusations of Raducanu refer to the previous victories of Sinner, in particular to its title at Wimbledon 2025 against Alcaraz, insinuating that external factors, as alleged preferences of the ATP, have influenced his successes. The declaration that Sinner will never be number one in the presence of Alcaraz has inflamed the debate, dividing fans and commentators.

Social media on fire

Raducanu’s posts, published by his verified account, quickly reached millions of views, with hashtags such as #sinnersalcaraz and #emmaraducanu who dominate the trends on X. The supporters of Alcaraz have supported his words, with a user who tweeted: “Emma is right! Carlos is on another level, Sinner only had luck!” However, many criticized the attack as incorrect and disrespectful. A fan of Sinner replied: “Shameful by Emma. Jannik is a champion, let the field speak!”

The controversy also rekindled the speculations on the relationship between Raducanu and Alcaraz. Although the two have never officially confirmed that they were a couple, they were seen together on several occasions, from the tribunes of tournaments to worldly events. Raducanu, a former Us Open 2021 champion, is known for his charisma and his frankness, but his public outburst has also surprised his most avid fans.

Sinner’s elegant answer

Jannik Sinner, famous for his peaceful demeanor, responded to Raducanu’s provocations during the post-match press conference with a composure that conquered the public. “I respect Carlos as an athlete and as a person,” Sinner said, with a calm but decisive tone. “It is the field that decides whoever wins, not the words. I work to improve every day.” When he was asked to comment on Raducanu’s statement on the fact that he will never be number one, Sinner smiled slightly and added: “The rankings come and go. I play for the love of tennis, not to chase titles or controversy.”

Sinner’s response received a wave of praise for his maturity. Tennis legend Andre Agassi tweeted: “Pure class from @janniksinner. He replies with dignity to a free attack.” The fans have also praised his approach, with an X post that reads: “Sinner shows why he is a true champion, inside and off the pitch. Emma should learn from him.”

A shadow on Alcaraz’s victory

Raducanu’s attack partially obscured the extraordinary performance of Alcaraz, who at 22 years of age conquered his third title of the US Open, consolidating his tennis superstar status. However, the drama off the pitch dominated the conversations, with analysts who ask themselves about the impact of this controversy in the rivalry between Alcaraz and Sinner, one of the most compelling of modern tennis.

The ATP has not yet made official statements regarding the accusations of “preference” moved by Raducanu, but internal sources suggest that the organization is monitoring the situation to avoid further escalations. Some commentators, such as the former tennis player John Mcenroe, have defined Raducanu’s claims “out of place”, underlining that “Sinner’s talent is confirmed is absurd, considering his results.”

Future reactions and perspectives

The controversy turned on the wider debates on the role of the figures close to players in professional tennis and on the impact of social media in feeding disputes. “Emma Raducanu has the right to support Alcaraz, but this attack on Sinner has been excessive,” said analyst Pam Shriver. “He transformed a large ending into a media circus.”

On social media, Sinner’s fans defended their darling, highlighting his successes, including two Grand Slam titles and a star 2025 season. “Sinner does not need to respond to these provocations. His trophies speak for him,” wrote a user. In the meantime, Alcaraz’s supporters see Raducanu’s words a sign of passion and loyalty towards their idol.

While the circuit is preparing for the indoor season, the eyes are focused on Alcaraz and Sinner, who will probably face each other in the next tournaments. The already intense rivalry is now loaded with a new tension thanks to Raducanu’s words. Will Sinner be able to silence critics with his game? And will Alcaraz publicly commemorate the behavior of his alleged girlfriend? One thing is certain: the drama of tennis has just begun.
