British tennis player Emma Raducanu has ended her long-standing partnership with Nike to join Uniqlo, becoming the brand's first female global ambassador. The move aligns her with tennis icon Roger Federer, whom she has long admired. She plans to debut the new sponsorship at the Indian Wells tournament in March 2026.
Emma Raducanu has pulled out of the 2026 Miami Open just before the main draw, citing post-viral symptoms from an illness contracted in the Middle East last month. The 23-year-old Briton, currently ranked 23rd with a 7-7 record this year, reached the quarterfinals there last year. Her absence adds to a long list of withdrawals reshaping the tournament field.
