The fellow tennis stars were spotted laughing and joking with each other, with the pair also being spokespeople for water brand Evian.
At an event for the brand, the British star talked about their time together with the press ahead of Wimbledon, as per Metro.
She told them, "No, it was fun yesterday. We were both on court with Evian.
"Yeah, we were just getting some volley practicing ahead of New York. Yeah, I'm really happy obviously to be playing with him. Yeah, we had a good time yesterday."
The pair will be partnering in doubles at the US Open in August this year.
Later during the press conference, she was asked about the dating rumours to which she smiled and said "We're just good friends."

But the 22-year-old had a sense of humour about the rumours. After she was asked about them, the interview moderator abruptly cut off all other questions, to which the tennis star laughed and said, "Way to wrap up!"
The two young tennis stars grew up around each other on the tennis courts, first getting to know each other at Wimbledon in 2021.
"He's so nice, very happy, amazing values and just a really positive light to be around," Raducanu said about Alcaraz, as per TNT Sports.

"I've known him for years. Wimbledon 2021 was the first time I started getting to know him. He was always playing the day before me, I would see him win and then I would have motivation to win and get myself into that position too.
"We have a good relationship still. He's obviously overtaken me a lot, but it's nice that we have that from a while ago."
