British tennis sensation Emma Raducanu has captivated fans with a dramatic hair transformation, sharing her stunning new look on social media just days after being spotted with a mystery companion.
New Look Sparks Social Media Frenzy
The 23-year-old former US Open champion unveiled her fresh style through Italian stylist Nicola Noviello, who proudly showcased his work on Instagram. Noviello described the creation as "Italian hands, British elegance" in his post, expressing gratitude that Raducanu trusted him with her style transformation.
Raducanu enthusiastically responded to the reveal, commenting "You're the best best" before sharing the image with her own followers. The timing of her style update comes amid growing speculation about her personal life following several public appearances with New Zealand-born finance worker Jack Coman.
Mystery Man Fuels Romance Rumours
Raducanu was first photographed leaving her south-west London home with Coman last Saturday, sparking immediate curiosity among tennis fans and media outlets. The pair were later seen together at Twickenham Stadium, where Coman sat behind Raducanu during England's 33-19 victory over the All Blacks.
The relationship speculation intensified when Coman appeared on Raducanu's Instagram after sharing a photograph of them smiling during an evening out on Fulham Road. While neither has confirmed the nature of their relationship, a source told The Sun that "she looked very happy" during their time together, though they remained uncertain whether the pair were "just friends or if there's something more."
Career Resurgence Amid Personal Changes
This personal style transformation and potential romance comes during what has been Raducanu's most successful season since her remarkable 2021 US Open breakthrough. The British star compiled an impressive 28-22 record this year, reaching the third round at three major tournaments and making her first WTA 1000 quarter-final in Miami.
Her consistent performance throughout the season saw her achieve a semi-final appearance in Washington and finish the year ranked 29th globally - her best year-end ranking since that historic major victory in New York. However, her off-season preparations have faced challenges due to a foot problem that forced her withdrawal from two exhibition matches in the United States.
To address these physical concerns, Raducanu has reportedly enlisted the expertise of physiotherapist Emma Stewart, who brings extensive experience from her time as a tour-appointed WTA circuit physiotherapist. Stewart is expected to temporarily oversee strength and conditioning training as Raducanu prepares for the upcoming season.
Beyond the court, Raducanu continues to build her financial portfolio, with her company posting a £5 million profit in 2024 and estimates placing her net worth at no less than £13.5 million. The UK's top female tennis player also reportedly earns approximately £100,000 weekly through her company, Harbour 6.
