Raducanu\u2019s role as an Uniqlo ambassador will bring a new, unique challenge that will help her pay tribute to her mother following \u201cher sacrifices, energy and efforts over the years\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>After nearly a decade with Nike, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/what-emma-raducanu-had-to-say-about-her-new-sponsor-and-heres-how-much-she-will-earn\">Raducanu was confirmed as a Uniqlo Global Brand Ambassador<\/a> this week, as it was revealed she will promote the Japanese brand and its LifeWear fashion globally.<\/p>\n<p>There was a key sentence in the press release as it added <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/emma-raducanu\">Raducanu<\/a> \u201cwill also work actively on designs and functions of her on-court apparel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That signals a new opportunity for the British No 1 as during her time with Nike she had very little to no input with the designs of her oufits as the American apparel giant usually adopts a one-style fits all approach with on-court attire.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s something that excites Raducanu as she will work with creative director Clare Waight-Keller as she explained to Harpers Bazaar: \u201cIt\u2019s something I\u2019ve never done before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a real honour to be working with Clare, who\u2019s such an incredible designer with so much experience\u2026 it\u2019s amazing for me to be able to speak to her and give my input, my feedback.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Uniqlo press release included pictures of Raducanu in a blue dress and that design appears to have gone down well with the tennis public, but it remains to be seen if that will be her outfit for her first event as a Uniqlo ambassador at next week\u2019s Indian Wells Open.<\/p>\n<p>The 2021 US Open winner, though, can\u2019t wait to give her new outfits \u201cairtime\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>Emma Raducanu News<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/emma-raducanu-roger-federer-11-high-profile-tennis-stars-who-left-nike\">Emma Raducanu, Roger Federer &amp; 11 high-profile tennis stars who left Nike<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/emma-raducanu-sponsorship-deal-greg-rusedski\">Emma Raducanu\u2019s mega new sponsorship deal \u2018makes a lot of sense\u2019, according to former British No 1<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw some initial sketches and drafts \u2013 her creativity is amazing. From the conversations we\u2019ve had, she\u2019s already put together some really cool, inspiring looks that you just really want to wear,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, you want to go out there and give those dresses, tops and skirts airtime. So, it\u2019s motivational for me as well. I think clothing is such a powerful tool to help you feel confident and put out a natural image of yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raducanu is the only female sport ambassador for Uniqlo, something that she describes as \u201ca great honour and a great privilege\u201d and she hopes to use her platform in a \u201cpositive way\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>And there is one woman in particular that has been a big inspiration throughout her life and that, of course, is her mother Renee Zha with the 23-year-old revealing a \u201cfull-circle moment\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>When asked by Harpers Bazaar who she\u2019d most like to see in her creations, she replied: \u201cI think I would honestly love to see my mother in my clothes, because it would be such a full circle moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause this is what she sacrificed and dedicated a lot of her time [to] \u2013 her energy, her effort, all of the challenges, all of the hard work\u2026 this is what it was for, and for her to experience it is probably going to be really special. I\u2019d say my mum is probably the number one.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emma Raducanu reveals full-circle moment involving her mother as she takes on new Uniqlo role Shahida Jacobs 26 Feb 2026 8:00 AM Emma Raducanu with inset of her mother Renee Zha Emma Raducanu\u2019s role as an Uniqlo ambassador will bring a new, unique challenge that will help her pay tribute to her mother following \u201cher [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-1794276","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1794276","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1794276"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1794276\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1794276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1794276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1794276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
