Emma Raducanu has been named a brand ambassador for Porsche, a premium car manufacturer. The 19-year-old, who rose to international prominence after winning the US Open in 2021, is expected to become one of the brand’s ambassadors.
Raducanu’s historic victory in New York the previous year helped her land high-profile endorsement partnerships with Dior, British Airways, and Vodafone, among others. As a tennis ambassador for Porsche, the youngster joins the likes of three-time Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber and others. The British actress confessed that she has admired Porsche since she was a child and has always wanted to acquire a Porsche sports vehicle. Emma Raducanu, a motorsports fan, remembers how watching Porsche racing events like the Carrera Cup as a kid was a wonderful experience.
The teen Grand Slam winner said, ” For me to be a brand ambassador for Porsche means a lot,” ‟Porsche is one of the brands I’ve always loved from a young age. 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.”
‘ A Great role model for women’ says Oliver Blume
Porsche’s Chairman of the Executive Board, Oliver Blume, showered admiration for Emma Raducanu, characterizing her as a role model for women all across the world. On commenting on Raducanu, Blume said, “We’re delighted to welcome Emma Raducanu in the Porsche family as a Brand Ambassador,” ‟She embodies not only a new generation of strong and self-confident players but, as a personality, is also an inspiration and role model beyond the realms of her sport for young women all over the world. She exemplifies that one can achieve one’s goals if one believes in oneself.”
She also goes on to say, “Emma Raducanu is a wonderful personality, both on and off-court. Her appearances in Wimbledon and at the US Open thrilled not only tennis fans. She combines a dynamic and powerful game with passion and the desire to attack,” says Sebastian Rudolph, Vice President of Communications, Sustainability, and Politics at Porsche AG. “Off-court too, she’s a friendly, eloquent, and self-confident young woman. We’d like to extend a warm welcome to her in our family of brand ambassadors.”
She is all set to make her debut at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix at Stuttgart’s Porsche Arena in April, where she will serve for the first time. She is also the youngest player to have been provided the opportunity. Looks like the teenager is only soaring higher and higher and will only continue building her potential.
