Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu have appeared on a joint post on social media after the Spaniard's relationship was reportedly confirmed.
Alcaraz, 22, climbed back to the top of the men's ranking last weekend after winning the US Open at Flushing Meadows.
In the final, the Spaniard dispatched rival and defending champion Jannik Sinner in four sets, winning 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4.
Over the last few months, there have been rumours that Alcaraz and British star Raducanu's relationship may be more than just a tennis partnership.

However, the pair have kept their cards close to their chest, claiming that they are just good friends while acknowledging the reports and fan theories.
When asked on the rumours, Raducanu previously said: "I guess it comes with the territory, people being so curious. I think they’re more curious about this news than any tennis results and tennis news. But I just keep to myself, my private life to one side.
"It’s always funny when people try to find something out, but I try not to read into it so much."

Recently, it has been reported that Alcaraz is dating Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nader.
According to E! News, Nader's sister, Grace Ann, was the one to reveal the truth about Alcaraz and Nader.
When quizzed on the pair at Raising Cane’s New York Fashion Week Show on Wednesday, Grace Ann said, as per the Daily Mail: "The rumours are true. Dating is such a loose term. But I do know he’s the man of the hour."
When asked if she will be meeting the new world number one, Grace Ann said: "I’m dying to. Such a cutie."
