Emma Raducanu has revealed a striking new hairstyle on Instagram, just days after sparking romance rumours with a mystery companion.
The 23-year-old tennis star showed off her fresh look created by Italian stylist Nicola Noviello on Wednesday.
Noviello shared the transformation on social media, writing: "Italian hands, British elegance. A fresh new look for Emma Raducanu, grazie for trusting me with your style!"
The former US Open champion was clearly delighted with the results, responding: "You're the best best," before sharing the image with her own followers.
Emma Raducanu's stylist described her as 'British elegance'
|The style reveal comes after Raducanu was photographed with finance worker Jack Coman over the weekend.
The New Zealand-born Coman was first seen leaving Raducanu's south-west London home with her last Saturday.
Later that day, he was photographed sitting behind the tennis ace at Twickenham as England defeated the All Blacks 33-19.
The pair's connection became more apparent when Coman posted a photo of them together during a night out on Fulham Road. Both were smiling broadly in the snap that quickly caught fans' attention.
A friend wrote 'lovers' beneath the photograph | INSTAGRAMA source told The Sun: "She looked very happy. I'm not sure if they're just friends or if there's something more, but they seemed to enjoy each other's company."
It's been a brilliant year for Raducanu on the tennis court. She wrapped up 2024 with an impressive 28 wins from 50 matches, marking her strongest performance since that magical 2021 season.
The British number one reached the third round at three Grand Slam tournaments and achieved a career milestone by making her first WTA 1000 quarter-final in Miami. She also enjoyed a fantastic run to the semi-finals in Washington.
Despite some challenges during the autumn swing, Raducanu finished the year ranked 29th globally.
It's her highest year-end position since capturing hearts with her US Open triumph four years ago.
Her business ventures have been equally successful. Raducanu's company, Harbour 6, recorded a remarkable £5 million profit in 2024, boosting her net worth to an estimated £13.5 million.
The tennis star's earnings through the company work out to around £100,000 per week - a testament to her commercial appeal beyond the court.
Meanwhile, she's been addressing fitness concerns after a foot injury disrupted her off-season plans. The issue forced her to withdraw from two exhibition matches in America.
She's now enlisted physiotherapist Emma Stewart, who brings extensive WTA tour experience to the team. Stewart will temporarily handle strength and conditioning duties as Raducanu prepares for 2025.
