It’s time to talk about Emma Raducanu. The tennis prodigy who took the world by storm during the US Open in 2021! Lately, however, she’s has been experiencing a bit of a rough patch. After her impressive debut at the US Open, Raducanu has been struggling to find her footing in the tennis world.

Things didn’t go as planned for Raducanu at the Indian Wells and Stuttgart tournaments. She failed to make it past the first round in both of them. Ouch! That’s gotta hurt. She was unable to showcase the same skill and determination that made her the US Open champion in 2021. It’s safe to say that her plummeting world ranking, which has dropped from 10 to 85, is a reflection of her recent performances.

To add insult to injury, Raducanu had to withdraw from the Madrid Open due to a hand injury. She sustained the injury while practicing for the tournament. It’s tough luck, but it’s also a sign that her body needs rest and recuperation. Hopefully, she’ll be back to her winning ways soon.

Emma Raducanu #4 on Forbes World’s Highest Paid Female Athletes of 2022

Now, despite her recent disappointments, Emma Raducanu is still the 4th highest earning female athlete in the world! She was on Forbes’s highest-earning athletes list for 2022. At the tender age of 20, that’s beyond impressive.

So, how did she manage to be a top earning athlete despite her disappointing on-field performance?

Endorsements. In 2022, Emma’s on-field earnings only accounted for roughly $700,000. Her endorsements, however, totalled $18 million! After her championship at the US Open in 2021, endorsements began flooding in! Emma now has some of the most desirable and lucrative partnerships any athlete can dream of, including Porsche, Tiffany & Co., Dior, British Airways, Vodafone, HSBC, and of course Nike. It’s no wonder Emma is making serious bank!

It seems that despite Emma’s disappointing performance and plummeting global ranking, she is still highly marketable! In fact, a data report by the source SponsorUnited found that Emma’s sponsored brand posts on social media have the highest engagement rate of any female Tennis player! So, despite the fact that Emma may be going through a rough patch on the court, she’s still as influential as ever, a real female force to be reckoned with.

Emma has proven in the past that she has what it takes to be a champion. Champion of the US Open is no easy feat. She just needs to find her groove again. Let’s hope this time off serves her well, and that she’s able to come back stronger than ever. After all, she’s only 20 years old, far too young to accept defeat. Let’s call this a rough patch, it’s too soon to accept the end of the Emma Raducanu era.

In conclusion, Emma Raducanu’s plummeting world ranking is a testament to the ups and downs of the tennis world. It’s tough to stay on top, but with hard work and determination, she can climb back up the ranks. And even if she doesn’t, she’s still making bank!

Today we’re going to talk about the women’s tennis outfits at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart. We’re halfway through the tournament, and while the matches are heating up, the outfits have already been serving looks.

If there’s one thing I know, it’s fashion. And let me tell you, the prevailing theme we’ve seen so far is shades of purple and pink, paired with blue-green teals. Our breakdown of Emma Raducanu’s media day with Porsche predicted she’d be wearing shades of teal. Little did we know, all the other female tennis players would follow suit. It’s a colour combination fit for a tennis superstar.

Jelena Ostapenko

Jelena Ostapenko caught my eye with her vintage-looking pink and blue outfit. It was a throwback to the classic tennis outfits of the 80s, but with a modern twist. The retro colours were brought to life with a sleek, form-fitting design that hugged her curves in all the right places. It was a true fashion ace.

Admittedly, Jelena is known for wearing unique bespoke outfits on the court. Jelena’s looks are designed DK One, who she collaborates with for her unique looks. While this look isn’t available for purchase, she has an entire collection with DK One that is truly Jelena in fashion.

Emma Raducanu

But let’s not forget about Emma Raducanu. I’d like to take a moment to recognize that I fully predicted Emma’s teal look! As expected, the young tennis prodigy wore her classic teal colour paired with a pink shirt, giving off major preppy vibes. The combination was simple, yet elegant, much like Emma’s effortless playing style.

Emma can be seen wearing a hot pink Nike Dri-FIT UV One Luxe T-shirt. She’s paired this bright eye-catching top with a teal Nikecourt Dri-FIT Slam skirt and teal tennis wristbands.

Now, if only her performance on the court matched this killer outfit. Here’s hoping she warms up to clay season so we can see more of her on-court tennis outfits!

Paula Badosa

And speaking of teal, Paula Badosa was also wearing it, paired with purple. The colour combo was unexpected, but somehow it worked. The bright teal added a pop of energy to the outfit, while the purple gave it a regal touch. Paula’s outfit was a reminder that sometimes taking a risk pays off.

Paula is seen wearing the Nikecourt Dri-FIT Advantage Skirt in purple with a teal Nike Pro Tank Top and the Nike Aero Dri-FIT Advantage Visor in teal.

Overall, the women’s tennis outfits at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart have been stunning! With teal hues paired with pink and purple seen all over the clay courts, it’s safe to say teal is the colour of the season!

But let’s not forget the most important thing, whether you’re on the court or not, it’s all about confidence. So whether you’re wearing a vintage-inspired outfit like Ostapenko, or keeping it classic like Raducanu, own your style and strut your stuff. And who knows, you might just serve up a fashion ace of your own.

Today, we’re going to talk about Emma Raducanu’s media day with Porsche! Ahead of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, Emma Raducanu spent the day filming, doing Q&As, and test-driving the Porsche Taycan 4S! As a Porsche ambassador, Emma got the insider’s experience, and we’re here to recap the whole media day, including her NikeCourt fit, of course!

Emma Raducanu – Porsche Ambassador

Emma Raducanu is not just a tennis superstar, she’s also a Porsche ambassador, and that means she gets to do cool things like test-drive the latest Porsche models. During her media day, she got behind the wheel of the Porsche Taycan 4S and hit the road, feeling the power of the electric engine and the sleek design of the car.

During the media day, Emma talked about her experience as a Porsche ambassador and how much she loves being a part of the Porsche family. She also talked about her goals for the upcoming tennis season and how she’s been working hard to improve her game.

As a young athlete, Emma is a role model for many young girls who aspire to be like her. She’s an inspiration both on and off the court, and her partnership with Porsche only adds to her impressive list of achievements.

And let’s not forget about that Porsche Taycan 4S. The car is a masterpiece, with its electric engine, cutting-edge technology, and luxurious design. Emma had a blast test-driving the car, and who wouldn’t? It’s the perfect combination of style, speed, and sustainability.

Emma’s NikeCourt Fit on Porsche Media Day

But, let’s not forget about Nike! You can take Emma off the court, but you can’t take away her stylish Nike outfits. Emma chose an off-duty athleisure fit, perfect for a day of press and test-driving. The full outfit features a black and teal colour scheme. This is similar to the teal-hued accessories we’ve recently seen Emma wearing on the court. Emma chose to wear the NikeCourt Fleece Tennis Hoodie and Tennis Trousers, which both feature Nike’s unique NikeCourt patch!

So, what can we expect to see Emma wearing on the court? My guess is a teal-hued NikeCourt fit, similar to what we saw her wearing at the BNP Paribas Open. Emma’s teal fit included an Aero Dri-FIT Advantage Visor, Tennis Wristbands, the famed Dri-FIT Advantage Pleated Tennis Skirt, and a cropped top similar to the Yoga Dri-FIT Luxe Tank.

One thing is for certain, Emma has a thing for blue-green teal shades. And truthfully, we’re green with envy over how good she looks in this colour! We can’t wait to see what she will wear on the court at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. If media day was any indication, we’re anticipating something teal green.

In conclusion, Emma Raducanu’s media day with Porsche was a huge success. She looked amazing in her NikeCourt athleisure fit and had the opportunity to test-drive the stunning Porsche Taycan 4S. As a Porsche ambassador and a rising star in the world of tennis, Emma is a force to be reckoned with!

The BNP Paribas Open is one of the most prestigious and highly anticipated tennis tournaments in the world. While the focus is primarily on the world-class tennis players competing for the title, fashion also plays a significant role in the event. This year, it appears the Nike girls share one thing in common, the NikeCourt skirt and shorts. With pleats having a revival on the runways it’s only natural they make their way to the courts. Today, we’ll take a closer look at the fashion at the BNP Paribas Open and what trends we’ve seen so far.

The BNP Paribas Open is a 12-day event that attracts thousands of tennis fans from all over the world. It’s not only a competition between athletes, but also a fashion show for the spectators. From casual fans to fashion enthusiasts, with all eyes on the court, there’s no doubt it’s an occasion worth dressing up for.

Emma Raducanu

It’s no secret that Emma Raducanu is having her moment and absolutely killing it at the BNP Paribas Open. With any luck, we’ll be seeing much more of her and her stylish Nike outfits. As a Nike girl, Raducanu has been seen sporting this skirt before. In Melbourne, she rocked the same skirt in a purple hue. I’m talking about the NikeCourt Dri-FIT Advantage Tennis Skirt in black.

Petra Kvitova

Petra Kvitova is another Nike girl that has been killing it in the desert. There’s no doubt that Kvitova is also a major fan of the NikeCourt Dri-Fit Advantage skirt. We saw her wearing two colourways of the skirt, green and purple, in Melbourne. In Indian Wells she already been seen wearing the black version that Raducanu can be seen in, as well as this light blue version. Unfortunately, this light blue colour doesn’t appear to be available online.

Aryna Sabalenka

After her win at the Australian Open, Aryna Sabalenka has nothing to prove. Though she’s also been spotted many times before wearing the famed pleated NikeCourt skirt, she opted for a more subtle iteration for the desert. Sabalenka can be seen wearing the NikeCourt Dri-FIT Advantage shorts. Equally chic, yet casual and comfortable. Also, special shout out to her Van Cleef Arpels Vintage Alhambra necklace. It takes a chic woman to pull off luxury jewellery on the court. With Sabalenka’s performance to date, I’m guessing she is banking on another victory, and saving her best outfits for the finals.

Overall, the NikeCourt Dri-FIT Advantage line is a great choice for tennis players. Whether you choose the skirt or the shorts, you’ll stay comfortable, dry, and stylish during matches. It’s moisture-wicking technology, comfortable fit, and stylish design make it a popular choice among tennis players and sportswear enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, the NikeCourt Dri-FIT Advantage line is definitely worth considering for your next tennis match. Best of all, the Nike girls approve this choice. With their stamp of approval, I’m hoping Nike will continue to release both the skirt and shorts in even more colourways.
