Game, set, match made in heaven? Tennis star Emma Raducanu has sparked romance rumors with fellow tennis player Benjamin Heynold.

Days after Raducanu was knocked out of the U.S. Open following her defeat by Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina in August 2025, the athlete took to Instagram to share a summer photo dump. One of the snaps caught fans’ attention, as it featured Raducanu sitting in a restaurant and smiling beside Heynold.

“Is that the bf in slide 2? ,” one fan asked.

However, Raducanu shut down the rumor by “liking” a comment that read, “That dude is not her boyfriend. He has known her the[y] were like 6. It’s been said many times he’s a childhood school friend,” according to SportsTalk.
