For many Porsche enthusiasts, the name Emma Raducanu isn’t familiar. But if there’s one thing she shares with the world of Porsche, it’s a competitive DNA flowing through her veins and her love for Porsche since childhood. A British professional tennis player, Emma reached a career-high ranking of No. 10 by the Women’s Tennis Association on 11 July 2022 and is a former British No. 1 player. Raducanu is the first British woman to win a Grand Slam singles title since Virginia Wade at the 1977 Wimbledon Championships.
A love for Porsche
Emma has had a soft spot for Porsche and motorsport since 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.”
