Seems a bit money down the drain from Porsche.

If you're gonna buy a Porsche, you're gonna buy a Porsche, I doubt that Emma Raducana being in photos with them is going to sway you.

From a money and endorsement view good for her,but when it comes to tennis I personally feel that the British media pur too much pressure and spotlight on her after winning just one grandslam. She felt the need to change her coach which was a very bad decision and nothing has gone right for her since the US OPEN title. But she must get as much money as she possibly can from these endorsements coz at the moment her game is going downhill.

Usually people who but cars like Porsche don't need encouragement or persuasion from anyone ,that why you don't see adds of cars like Porsche,Lambourn,Ferrari etc on TV.

It’s not about her selling their cars, it’s about them making a statement saying they think she is worthy of their brand sponsorship because they feel she has integrity they associate with

I think that given the unpredictable nature of the womens game where a player can win a major, then disappear into the rankings abyss, she’s right to cash in on the achievement for as long as possible. I don’t know the exact number but there are quite a few, recent, one time Slam winners on the WTA.

I think the original question was linked to her potentially being a one hit wonder.

Which does seem like a business risk. But they will have looked at her very carefully before they signed her on.

I see it as an endorsement of her as both a sportswoman and a role model to younger kids.

She is also easy to photograph, quite eloquent and is also cute and innocent as well. Her looks and name are also not traditionally English or Waspy. So she appeals across social and geographical strata.

She, on the other hand, signed a bit of paper and got loads of money and fast cars for free.

She's the first British woman to win a grand slam singles title since 1977. At 18. In her second grand slam tournament. Not just a pretty face and taking it down to just her looks is kinda insulting to her.

Anyone saying that this won't make people buy Porches doesn't understand how advertising and product placement works.

Very few people go out and buy stuff just because it has celebrity endorsement. However, luxury products require a complex mental game to make people spend on them. No one needs a Porche, or any other sports car - or indeed a £30k watch or £800 shoes. People buy these things because they believe they will have status from them and our assessment of the status value of an object is far more subtle that "superstar X has one therefore I must"

I am guessing for as good as she is, the sponsorship deal isn’t really targeted at the uk or European markets, the target is likely to be the china market… young, social media savvy, rising star with Chinese heritage and can speak fluent mandarin, and the womens tennis tour hold 10 events in china every year!

Mr"

Exactly this, it's branding. It's how luxury companies (or any for that matter) make you think about their company. There's a reason every company in the world spends an inordinate amount of money on creating their brand. And the fact that you're even talking about it shows its working

The history books won’t say how it was won though. It simply say that she won the 2021 US Open.

She still had to beat the 7 players she played against. All ranked higher than her.

So I don’t get this ‘she fluked it’ nonsense.

Spot on. Some keyboard warriors need to take a look in the mirror at what they had achieved by age 18.

Beating the queen of tennis with 23 grand slams to her name is no mean feet.

If it was a fluke, she would still need to be a really really good player to get herself into a place to take advantage of this fluke.

Let’s be clear, she’s won many tennis tournaments, including one grand slam. That’s a big deal, no matter how you phrase it. She’s got a decent future, and brands are betting on her while she is probably cheap to sponsor, in the hope that if her star grows, they get the benefit. No need to be snippy about it. Plenty of sportspeople get sponsored for all sorts of crap, cars, watches, betting shops, drinks, clothes.

The girl who won the para 100m with cerebral palsey did it in a time faster than I have ever managed even a a fit late teen.

Let’s not be thinking these people aren’t an order of magnitude better than we are, they are

Did you take that seriously?

Yeah, because it’s exactly the sort of thing that people with opinions would say on here.. so, great if you were joking, but I still stand by my reply for those who probably read your joke and agreed internally…"

Well I was serious. If crush her

What are your thoughts

Pretty girl

Won one tennis tournament

Let’s be clear, she’s won many tennis tournaments, including one grand slam. That’s a big deal, no matter how you phrase it. She’s got a decent future, and brands are betting on her while she is probably cheap to sponsor, in the hope that if her star grows, they get the benefit. No need to be snippy about it. Plenty of sportspeople get sponsored for all sorts of crap, cars, watches, betting shops, drinks, clothes.

But she's a woman. Let's not celebrate her achievements let's call her a girl and belittle her years of hard work while studying.

A pretty girl at that "

Well thank goodness for that she can probably use her looks to win future tournaments

Why was it a fluke? I suppose you'd say the same about the Lionesses the other week?

Worthing

She seems a lovely person in interviews. Hope she keeps focused on tennis and not distracted by the media offers.

Of course it may be that she actually prefers the hard courts on the American circuit over the grass courts in Britain and the clay courts in France.

I think she’s a remarkable athlete and what she has achieved at such a young age is truly remarkable.

Shangri-La


"From a money and endorsement view good for her,but when it comes to tennis I personally feel that the British media pur too much pressure and spotlight on her after winning just one grandslam. She felt the need to change her coach which was a very bad decision and nothing has gone right for her since the US OPEN title. But she must get as much money as she possibly can from these endorsements coz at the moment her game is going downhill.

"

Have you seen the new series on net flix? It's the 3 story one. If you like tennis you might enjoy it.

She’s probably got a few more tournaments to play before she retires, so can I take an iou for your “told you so” until that time?

"Think she should focus on her tennis

Who says she isn’t focused on her tennis?

Her form she hasn't one a game since winning and sacking her coach

She’s at the start of her career for godsake! She only in her early 20s! How the hell would you know about her game. Don’t be so critical and judgemental "

She hasn't got to her 20s yet. She's only 19.
