British tennis sensation Emma Raducanu has faced a major setback in her career as her sponsorship deal with Porsche appears to be falling apart. The talented 21-year-old, who recently suffered a foot injury, has had her Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet taken away from her. This unfortunate turn of events comes as Raducanu is currently recovering from a ligament sprain, which forced her to withdraw from two major tournaments in China.
According to reports, Porsche has decided to end their partnership with Raducanu, who became their ambassador in 2021 after her incredible victory at the US Open. The luxury car brand is known for quickly cutting ties with celebrities if they feel they are not getting their money's worth. This news must be a blow to Raducanu, who has been making a comeback this year after struggling with injuries in the past.
Despite her recent setback, Raducanu has been on an upward trajectory, climbing up the rankings and making it to the quarter-finals in several tournaments. Her love for Porsche dates back to her childhood, and it must have been devastating for her to have her beloved car taken away. One of her associates revealed that the car used to have pride of place at her home, but it has now been returned to Porsche.
Raducanu's journey back to the top has not been an easy one, as she has faced several injuries and setbacks. However, she has managed to equal her best Wimbledon run, defeat top-ranked players, and reach the semi-finals of the Nottingham Open. Despite some minor injuries and niggles, she has played in 13 WTA Tour events this year, and her goal is to reach 20, according to her former coach Tim Henman.
It is unclear when Raducanu will be able to return to the court, but she is scheduled to play at the upcoming Hong Kong Open in late October. There are also opportunities for her to participate in events in Ningbo and Guangzhou if she is able to recover sooner and secure a wildcard spot. She has also been selected to represent Great Britain in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in November, which will be another chance for her to showcase her talent and resilience. Despite the blow to her sponsorship deal, Raducanu remains determined to continue her rise in the tennis world and make a name for herself as one of the top players in the game.
