EMMA RADUCANU has landed a new job after she was knocked out of the US Open.
The British star was thrashed by Kazakhstani Elena Rybakina 6-1 6-2 last Friday in the third round of the tournament.
Raducanu, 22, has landed on her feet following the disappointing exit at the hands of the world No10.
She has signed a paid partnership with natural refillable deodorant company Wild as announced on Instagram.
Raducanu shared the news in a joint post with the company in which she featured in a video advert playing tennis and applying deodorant.
She wrote: “Big wins start with small changes… that’s why I’ve partnered with Wild to become their first ever Global Brand Ambassador. That’s Wild.
“They’re changing the game with their refillable deodorant and fun cases, I’m especially loving the Coconut & Vanilla scent.”
Fans loved the cheeky advert as they flooded the comment section to praise the star.
One posted: “So good.”
A second added: “Wow this is brilliant.”
A third commented: “Vibes are immaculate.”
Wild is the latest in a long line of sponsorship deals for one of tennis’ most marketable stars.
She has previously signed brand deals with the likes of Nike, Porsche, Evian, Dior, Tiffany & Co., and British Airways.
Her deals saw her become one of the top earners in tennis in 2024 despite only winning £735,000 on the court.
According to analysis by JeffBet and reports from Forbes, Raducanu made £9.6MILLION from sponsorship deals alone in last year.
However, there was some controversy with her role with Porsche.
Reports in October 2024 claimed that the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet the manufacturer had “taken back” a car that they had given her.
Raducanu received a Porsche following her remarkable 2021 US Open victory.
A Porsche spokesperson later confirmed this was the case, with the company handing out cars on an ad hoc basis.
SunSport understands that she is still currently an ambassador for Porsche.
