Raducanu won the Women’s Singles at the 2021 US Open and became the first British woman to win a major singles championship since 1977. Raducanu rose 127 places in the Women’s Tennis Association rankings, from 150th to 23rd, following her victory over Leylah Fernandez. She’s currently ranked World No. 22 by the WTA.
“It’s such an iconic brand and one that I’ve felt connected to for quite some time,” she said. “I wore the ring, bracelet, earrings and cross necklace throughout the tournament. These pieces will always be very special to me,” she told vogue after signing the contract.
Furthermore, the tennis champion said it was a “honour” to be a part of the company in an Instagram post. Raducanu wore Tiffany diamond earrings and a monochromatic Chanel outfit to her first Met Gala occasion.
