Carlos Alcaraz’s new girlfriend has been revealed days after he won the US Open title, putting an end to speculation linking him to fellow tennis ace Emma Raducanu. The 22-year-old Spaniard – who defeated Jannik Sinner in New York on Sunday to win the sixth major title of his career – is said to have sparked romance with American model Brooks Nader, with her sister Grace Ann describing him as the “man of the hour” as she revealed all in an interview with E! News. “The rumors are true,” Grace Ann told the publication. “Dating is such a loose term. But I do know he’s the man of the hour.” Nader is a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, featuring in the magazine on numerous occasions, while she also competed on Dancing with the Stars in September last year. Previously married to advertising executive Billy Haire for three years, it was reported last year that the 28-year-old was in a relationship with Prince Constantine-Alexios of Greece and Denmark, while she is also believed to have dated her Dancing with the Stars partner Gleb Savchenko. However, it appears that Nader and Alcaraz are now an item, with the reigning US Open and French Open champion reportedly already meeting the model’s two other sisters, Mary Holland and Sarah Jane. Grace Ann later told E! that she was “dying to” meet the tennis star herself, describing him as “such a cutie”. The revelation comes after Nader was mistakenly linked to Alcaraz’s great rival Sinner after being spotted at the US Open, although the model was quick to suggest that she was not there to watch the Italian in action. Asked if she was dating Sinner during an appearance on The Jimmy Kimmel Show , Nader said: “Is this, like, an interrogation? I’m so scared right now! “Well, ask Stephen [Colbert] what match we were at. I don’t think he was playing in that one.” It also comes after months of speculation linking Alcaraz with British tennis star Raducanu, with the duo setting tongues wagging after partnering up for the US Open mixed doubles event last month. Rumours of a potential romance between the two began to circulate after the British women’s number one was spotted in the stands at Centre Court, cheering on Alcaraz as he secured his second successive Wimbledon title last year. They gathered pace earlier this summer as Raducanu was again seen supporting Alcaraz as he won the men’s singles event at Queen’s, while reports later emerged that he had visited her at her hotel during the same tournament. However, both have played down suggestions of a romantic relationship, with Raducanu telling reporters at Wimbledon: “We’re just good friends”. Alcaraz has also previously been the subject of romance rumours linking him to sports marketing and law graduate Maria Gonzalez Gimenez and Spanish singer Ana Mena.
