Emma Raducanu for "Court Supremes" in the Porsche 911 in front of the camera
A year ago, Emma Raducanu became the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam tournament at the US Open 2021. Since that terrific success, the 20-year-old Briton has been one of the new faces in women's tennis with millions of fans around the world. Now the Porsche brand ambassador is also part of "Court Supremes", the sensational photo project by Porsche Central and Eastern Europe, Porsche AG and Radka Leitmeritz.

The Prague photographer, who lives in Los Angeles and has made a global name for herself with fashion photos for international glossy magazines such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and Vanity Fair, had Emma Raducanu in front of her camera at the Porsche Experience Center in Silverstone. Together with a 1965 Porsche 911 prepared by Sports Purpose in St Pierre Bleu, exciting fashionable shots were taken that perfectly complement "Court Supremes" - as an artistic homage to women's tennis and its protagonists.
“Shooting the 1965 911 was an incredible experience, and doing a few laps in that car afterwards was even better,” says Emma Raducanu. “For me, Porsche represents style and design and to be part of a project like this that combines tennis, cars, style and art photography is really cool. Radka did a great job of bringing those things together.”

"It was a lot of fun working with Emma," says Radka Leitmeritz. “I am pleased that we were able to win her for our project. In front of the camera, she showed incredible charisma and perfection for her young age. I love her fresh energy. We got a lot of great photos in a very short time. She has her own style and a good fashion sense, which of course helped a lot. And the blue 911 was simply a dream!”
The photos of her project "Court Supremes", in which Porsche fan Radka Leitmeritz combines her passion for photography and tennis, range from intense portraits to unusual still lifes. They stand for passion and performance, dynamics and aesthetics. For her ongoing project, she has already photographed world-class players such as Angelique Kerber, Julia Görges, Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, Victoria Azarenka, Maria Sakkari, Barbora Strycova, Marketa Vondrousova, Elina Svitolina, Petra Kvitova and Martina Navratilova. A huge fashionista and vehicle enthusiast in women's tennis worldwide, Emma Raducanu is a perfect match for Court Supremes.
The top stars, portrayed by the Czech photographer in a creative and professional light, are not only linked by sporting success. Many of them also have a very special relationship with Porsche. Martina Navratilova is the record winner of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix with six individual titles. Angelique Kerber, Julia Görges, Iga Swiatek and Petra Kvitova have also entered the list of winners of the traditional Stuttgart tournament. Alongside Emma Raducanu, Angelique Kerber is also a Porsche brand ambassador.
