Emma Raducanu is set to compete in her first clay-court event on the WTA Tour. The Brit will participate in the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart next week, where the winner will receive one of the German manufacturer’s snazzy cars.
The British number one, who was unveiled as an ambassador for the tournament sponsor last month, is looking forward to playing at an event she described as ‘unique’. ‟I am excited to play my first ever WTA tournament on clay,” she told Porsche tennis.
“It’s nice that it’s the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. I’ve been following the event since I was young and for me it was always the tournament where the winner gets a Porsche. It was unique and it has stayed on my mind. Since being on the Tour, I have heard so many good things about the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix.
