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Cue troll speculation that the German automobile manufacturer had withdrawn its financial backing due to not getting value for money – however the brand was quick to deny this.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.”
