Raducanu and Alcaraz, both 22, have been confirmed as a blockbuster mixed doubles partnership at the US Open.
And now they have partnered to become global ambassadors for Evian water.
The company have been Wimbledon’s official water supplier since 2008.
And they’ve snapped up the Spaniard as he prepares to defend his SW19 title for a second time.
In a press release, five-time Slam winner Alcaraz said: “It’s about embracing life with energy, and a positive mindset – values I respect and try to live by.
“Hydration is an important part of my daily routine and I’m excited to work with a brand that celebrates the joy of feeling youthful and full of life.
“I hope we can inspire others to prioritise their well-being.”
Raducanu was spotted cheering on Alcaraz during Queen’s his run to the title.

An insider told The Sun the pair were seen “laughing and joking with one another” near Raducanu’s hotel.
They added: “They seem very happy and relaxed with each other.”
During a press conference this week, Raducanu was told fans believed she and Alcaraz were “destined for each other”.
The British star laughed and replied: “I’m glad the internet is having fun and we’re providing entertainment for everyone.”
Raducanu added: “I’ve known him for years.
“He’s so nice, very happy, amazing values and just a really positive light to be around.”
“At Wimbledon 2021 it was the first time I started getting to know him, and I had a good run there and then also again in the US Open in 2021.
Wimbledon Ticket Options
There are a range of ways to get into Wimbledon as one of the only major sporting events in the world that offer sought-after tickets on the day of the event…
The Queue
As one of the only major sporting events that allows guests to purchase tickets on the day of the event, demand is high.
Each day a large queue forms of people wanting either a Grounds or Show Court ticket – with many even arriving the night before and camping to guarantee a place.
Upon arrival, visitors are issued a Queue Card, which is numbered and dated and should be kept until a ticket has been purchased.
While there is a limited number of entries, it is possible to remain in the queue and wait for people already inside to leave, with those tickets then becoming available.
It is also possible to check the status of the queue on the Wimbledon website.
This year, organisers are asking potential queuers to download the Wimbledon app and create a myWimbledon account.
Show Tickets
If you get to the front of the queue, then there are a limited number of tickets available for purchase for Centre Court and Courts 1, 2 and 3.
Note that Centre Court tickets are available for the first 10 days of the tournament, the final four days were already pre-sold.
Prices vary depending on the Court, seat and day of the event and will increase the further into the tournament you visit.
For example, Centre Court rows A-T cost £105 on Day 1 and £315 on Day 14 (men’s final).
Grounds Pass
A Grounds Pass costs £30 and allows visitors to watch matches on Courts 3-18 on unreserved seats, though there will also be a queue to get into Court 3.
Ticket Resale
From 3pm each day, tickets may become available from people who have left Wimbledon and made their seat available.
A Grounds Pass is needed to join the virtual queue on the Wimbledon App.
Tickets cost £15 for Centre Court or £10 for Courts 1/2.
Hospitality
There are a range of hospitality packages still available on the Wimbledon website.
Hospitality packages offer guaranteed premium seating to major matches as well as fine dining experiences, complimentary drinks, a shuttle and concierge service.
Hospitality packages can also be purchased via Seat Unique.
Secondary Markets
Sites such as StubHub offer tickets for the main courts for specific days and times.
*Please note that StubHub and similar secondary ticket resale sites may list tickets above face value.*
“And I remember he was always playing the day before me and I was playing like the second day of the round.
“And I would see him win and then I would have motivation to win and get myself into that position too.
“He beat Stef [Tsitsipas] in the third round and it was like a big win, his breakout kind of win on a big stage and it was really cool t go through that tournament together.
“I kept going through the US Open, but we were staying in touch for the whole time and yeah, it’s nice.”
The pair are due to play alongside each other in August at Flushing Meadows.
Raducanu and Alcaraz will play in the US Open’s revamped, $1million mixed doubles event.
The British No. 1 was in action at Eastbourne this week, where she was the No. 7 seed.
But she looked out of sorts, crashing out in the second round against Maya Joint.
