Hey there, fellow tennis enthusiasts It’s your girl Mia Johnson-Carter from Miami, and I’m super excited to share the latest updates from the world of tennis. Whether you’re a junior player looking to make it big or just a fan of the game, there’s always something new and exciting happening.
#### Emma Raducanu’s Sponsorship Saga
Recently, there’s been quite the buzz about British tennis star Emma Raducanu. You might remember her historic 2021 US Open win, which catapulted her to international fame. Now, it seems like her career hasn’t quite lived up to those high expectations, and it’s affecting her sponsorships.
One of the most interesting developments is that Porsche, one of her major sponsors, has reportedly taken away her dream supercar, the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet. This luxurious vehicle was given to her as a reward for her US Open victory, valued at around $165k.
However, it looks like Dacia is ready to step in and offer Emma a new vehicle. In a heartwarming gesture, Dacia left a thoughtful note and even wrapped the gift beautifully. The message read, “Dear @EmmaRaducanu, whether it’s your forehand, backhand, or Sandero keys in-hand — you know a thing or two about reliability. So while some brands may (double) fault and let you down, you can always trust your Sandero. Here’s to many more miles.” This is quite a clever play on words, especially considering Emma’s familiarity with Dacia cars. She actually bought her first car, a Dacia Sandero, second-hand after getting her driver’s license in 2020.
