Emma Raducanu, Porsche Brand Ambassador, 2022, Porsche AG

Emma Raducanu

In the summer of 2021, a new star appeared on the tennis stage at the US Open in New York – Emma Raducanu became the first ever qualifier to win a Grand Slam after going on a sensational winning streak.

With her gala performance in Big Apple, the Briton not only captivated the world’s tennis fans. Her dynamic and powerful game along with her passion and desire to attack has thrilled people all over the globe. Earlier in Wimbledon, she, the world No 338, had reached the last 16 after being given a wild card. It came just one month after she had made her debut on the WTA Tour. Born in Toronto, Canada to a Romanian father and a Chinese mother, she caused quite a stir only eight days after her 13th birthday when winning the U-18 Nike Junior International tournament in Liverpool against players who were all older than her. It made her the youngest tournament winner in the history of the International Tennis Federation.

Emma Raducanu, the first British woman to win a grand slam since Virginia Wade in 1977, embodies a new generation of strong and self-confident players. At the latest since her sensational win in New York, she, as a personality, is a worldwide inspiration and role model for young women beyond the realms of her sport. In her home country, she was voted the 2021 BBC Sports Personality of the Year and the WTA named her the Newcomer of the Year. At the start of 2022, she was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire for her services for her country.

Emma Raducanu has had a soft spot for Porsche and motorsport ever since her childhood. A motocross rider and kart driver, she went along to the Porsche Carrera Cup in Brands Hatch right from an early age and dreamt of a 911. “Porsche is a brand that fascinated me as a kid,” she says. “One of my first tennis coaches drove a 911. Whenever I would turn up to practice in the morning, I would see his Porsche, I would go wow and be like dreaming of one day sitting in my own.”
