Overview
- Craig Shapiro posted on X that Raducanu will switch to Uniqlo for 2026, a rumor amplified by tennis outlets but not verified.
- Raducanu has been with Nike since before turning pro in 2018, having previously worn Asics according to Women’s Tennis Blog.
- A Uniqlo deal would echo Roger Federer’s 2018 switch and Novak Djokovic’s past role with the brand, with Raducanu potentially becoming its most prominent WTA face if it happens.
- Coverage situates the possible change alongside her on-court rebound to a No. 29 year-end ranking in 2025 and continued preparation with coach Francisco Roig and new physio Emma Stewart.
- Reports also note a 2025 drop in endorsement income after a reported £3 million-per-year Vodafone deal ended, even as commentary highlights her enduring sponsor appeal and sizable social following.
