Emma Raducanu spotted with PR director John Friend after Queen's Club final defeat

British tennis player Emma Raducanu, 23, was photographed walking hand‑in‑hand with 32‑year‑old public‑relations director John Friend in Battersea Park, London, hours after she lost the WTA final at Queen's Club to Croatia’s Donna Vekić 0‑6, 6‑7. Media outlets reported that the pair appeared affectionate and untroubled by the recent defeat, with The Sun quoting observers as saying they “looked like they didn’t care” and seemed “enamoured with each other.”

Friend, the son of a Queen's Club committee member and a squasher for the Marylebone Cricket Club, is also involved with the charitable group Team Antoinette, which raises funds for cancer research.

The sightings occurred shortly after Raducanu’s loss, providing a brief human‑interest moment amid the tournament’s coverage.
