The saga surrounding Emma Raducanu and Porsche continues as eagle-eyed fans noticed a subtle wardrobe choice that could put an end to speculation.
The tennis ace swapped out her original GB tracksuit featuring a Lexus logo.
She instead opted for a custom jacket without the logo for a press conference.
Alongside a birthday post from the German brand, it should put rumors about her contractual obligations with Porsche to bed.

Emma Raducanu and Porsche
Emma Raducanu stood out at the Billie Jean King Cup press conference for her wardrobe choice rather than her words.
Keen-eyed fans noticed that ahead of facing Germany in the cup finals, she wasn’t wearing the Team GB jacket featuring the Lexus sponsor.
It’s been speculated that this is due to her contract with Porsche – something which has been an issue for debate for online trolls recently.

This seems to have been confirmed by a birthday post – Raducanu recently turned 22 – on the luxury car brand’s official Instagram page.
Rumors surrounding 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet
In 2022, Emma Raducanu was named a global brand ambassador for Porsche following her the year before.
She was gifted the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet in 2022 as a gift to celebrate her deal with Porsche following her 2022 US Open victory the year before.
Reports swirled last month that her the brand had ‘taken away’ the British tennis player’s Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet worth over $160,000.
While it was said to have been ‘pride of place at her home’, the world-ranked No.58 was spotted on a London Bus.

Cue troll speculation that the German automobile manufacturer had withdrawn its financial backing due to not getting value for money – however the brand was quick to deny this.
Raducanu herself clapped back with a social post taken seemingly inside the cabin of the car in question.
She also posted an Instagram story as the ‘evidence’ needed to stop fan’s tongues wagging.
It’s a picture that appears to show the Porsche Cayenne that Raducanu has been seen driving around in.
The nearly $130,000 car is sitting in a parking bay, simply captioned: “Good day.”

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
