Emma Raducanu has recently faced a series of challenges both on and off the tennis court. The British tennis star, who gained widespread recognition after winning the US Open in 2021, has struggled with injuries that have kept her from competing regularly. On top of that, rumors emerged suggesting that her sponsor, Porsche, had reclaimed a car worth $163,000 due to her poor performances this season. However, these rumors were later debunked. A Porsche spokesperson clarified that the car was never meant to be Raducanu’s permanent possession and was only lent to her on a short-term, ad-hoc basis.
Amid the controversy, another car manufacturer, Dacia, showed support for Raducanu. In a public post on social media, Dacia expressed their confidence in her, playfully referencing her reliability both on and off the court. The brand even shared an image of the car they presented to her as a gesture of support.
Raducanu, in response to the reports, posted a cryptic message on social media, featuring herself next to the Porsche, with the caption, “Like I Vanished and Reappeared.” While it remains unclear if she still has the car in question, Porsche confirmed that their partnership with Raducanu remains unchanged, and she continues to be a global ambassador for the brand.
Raducanu, who signed with Porsche after her 2021 US Open victory, has long admired the brand. The company reiterated that there has been no change in their collaboration, and they are satisfied with their partnership.
Fans are now eagerly awaiting Raducanu’s return to the tennis court, hoping she can recover from her physical setbacks and regain her form. She last played at the Korea Open but had to withdraw mid-match due to injury. The tennis world is watching closely to see if she can stage a comeback in the near
future.
