Tennis ace Emma Raducanu has given her fans a hotly-anticipated update after it was alleged that Porsche ‘took back’ her 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet worth over $160,000.

With a Porsche sponsorship deal, the 2021 US Open champion has been a brand ambassador since 2022.

Her latest social media post put rumors to bed that her relationship with the luxury brand is ‘heading to the scrapyard’.

It simply featured a parking bay and a two-word caption.

Reports swirled last month that her Porsche had ‘taken away’ the British tennis player’s Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet worth over $160,000.

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.

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Cue troll speculation that the German automobile manufacturer had withdrawn its financial backing due to not getting value for money.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, a spokesperson for the luxury brand was quick to put an end to that narrative: “Emma Raducanu is a global brand ambassador for Porsche and there have not been any changes within our successful partnership since it started in 2022.

“We are very happy with our partnership.”

While Raducanu has already spoken out with a post taken seemingly inside the cabin of the car in question, this latest Instagram story is hopefully the concrete evidence needed to stop fan 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.”

She also owns a humble Dacia Sandero that she appears to use as a backup car.

Raducanu is not alone in her car sponsorship.

David Beckham, for example, is a brand ambassador for Maserati, and he was able to design his own MC20.

Maserati even launched a limited-edition collection designed by Beckham.
