Raducanu on how much Porsche Taycan for winner of Porsche Tennis Grand Prix motivates her: "A lot, who wouldn't want to win that?"

Emma Raducanu is excited about a chance to win a car at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart later this month.

The Brit played at the event last year but failed to make it to the final in which Swiatek defeated Sabalenka to win the event and the car. The Brit loves to play in Stuttgart after a very good experience the first time around. She also has a brand deal with Porsche which makes this only more natural for her:

“I think it’s a very nice arena for tennis and provides a great atmosphere. Of course, having the cars behind the court and also being able to rent from a selection of Porsche’s throughout the week is pretty cool!”

Asked about winning the car, Raducanu, a speed enthusiast said:

“A lot! Who wouldn’t want to win that?! I’ve been lucky enough to drive one on a few occasions and it’s a very smooth drive and tremendous acceleration!”

The event will also see her return to clay, her first time in a while but it's a surface where she can play well:

“I haven’t played on clay since the last clay court season but I’m looking forward to it again. I’ve already had my first practice sessions. Last year was my first real experience on clay and I was pleased with my progress so it will be fun getting back playing on clay.”

As a brand Ambassador for Porsche, Raducanu shared her experience on the partnership:

“Porsche have been amazing in supporting my off-court goals. Together we have put together a driving program that includes track lessons with more advanced cars and I’ve had a lot of fun improving my driving skills. The goal is to keep progressing and who knows what opportunities it might lead to. I love testing new cars and learning about the engineering side of the industry as well.”
