Emma Raducanu has been linked with a new romance as Wimbledon creeps closer.
The 22-year-old is currently preparing for the prestigious competition and, though she's currently battling with a back problem, is still expected to grace the green courts at the All England Club.
Over the weekend, the Daily Mail fuelled speculation that Raducanu potentially had a new boyfriend.
They linked her with agent Thomas Houchin, described as a 'dashing former tennis prodigy', while revealing that the pair have known each other since the age of six.

Houchin had recently been spotted cheering Raducanu on at Queen's, with the Briton losing to Qinwen Zheng in the quarter-finals on Friday.
Raducanu, when it comes to her love life, keeps her cards close to her chest.
Tennis fans had once wondered whether she was with Carlos Alcaraz - but the pair are simply good friends, and nothing more.
Raducanu was, however, once with billionaire Carlos Agostinelli - with the pair starting their romance in 2023.

The duo made several public appearances together, including at the Paris Fashion Week in September of that year, as their romance blossomed.
Before Wimbledon 12 months ago, however, it was then confirmed that the duo had split and gone their separate ways.
Eagle-eyed tennis fans noticed that Agostinelli no longer followed Raducanu on social media, while a source told the Daily Mail: "Emma has 2.4million followers on Instagram but Carlo is no longer one of them."
They added: "It seems their relationship has run its course."

Raducanu is, however, believed to still be close with Agostinelli's sister, Maria.
The pair have been snapped meeting up for a coffee outside a gym in London, having previously gone on holiday's together while the 22-year-old was in a relationship with Agostinelli.
In May last year, Raducanu confessed that her parents weren't a fan of her having boyfriends in the past - perhaps due to their desire to see her become a tennis sensation.
She told The Times: "My parents were very much against [boyfriends] as it interfered with training.

"When I was younger, I wasn’t even allowed to hang out with my girlfriends.
"A lot of the time I was very resentful. But it made me very confident and comfortable in my own company, which is also a big strength."
She added: “At the start, my dad forced me into tennis.
“I didn’t like it, but then as I got older and tennis became more of a priority, I was pushing myself.”

Raducanu will be hoping to win Wimbledon when the tournament commences on June 30.
And whether Houchin cheers her on in London remains to be seen.
