Watch: Emma Raducanu and Dua Lipa team up for Evian commercial ahead of 2022 Wimbledon Championships
World No. 12 Emma Raducanu and British pop sensation Dua Lipa have teamed up for a new ad campaign for Evian.
The 19-year old Brit was happy to teach the singer-songwriter a few tricks on the tennis court, beginning with how to grip the racquet and get a clean swing on the ball. The pop star then returned the favour by teaching Raducanu a few dance moves.

"Ahead of the tennis season, Evian ambassadors Dua Lipa and Emma Raducanu stepped out of their comfort zones and showed their true selves in our latest campaign #eviandrinktrue. A pure moment like this calls for natural #evian mineral water," Evian captioned their video on Twitter.
After making the video, Dua Lipa had a few kind words to say about 2021 US Open champion Raducanu, calling her "incomparable."
“I’m so happy to be partnering with Evian again for this next campaign with the incomparable Emma Raducanu. Getting to experience a bit of how Emma trains for the summer tennis season first-hand only added to the immense amount of respect I have for her and her craft," Dua Lipa said.
Raducanu also shared her experience of working with the Grammy award winner, and joked that she would stick to tennis after trying to learn Dua Lipa's dance moves.
“Dua is one of the absolute top people I would have wanted to be in a campaign with and I just feel so lucky that Evian made it happen! This was my first big Evian campaign and we all had so much fun on set. Dua was a brilliant coach, being patient with me as I tried her dancing. I think I’ll stick to the court though,” Raducanu said.
"Absolute freak injury, I think I pulled something" - Emma Raducanu on injury scare at the Nottingham Open
With Wimbledon less than three weeks away, World No. 12 Emma Raducanu suffered an unfortunate injury in the first round of the the Nottingham Open against Viktorija Golubic.
The 19-year-old showed signs of discomfort in the very first game of the match. She took a medical timeout and received treatment on her left side, with a trainer attending to her rib and upper arm. She took painkillers and attempted to carry on, but was forced to pull out while trailing 4-3 in the first set.
Speaking in her post-match press conference, the Brit said she suffered an "absolute freak" injury.
"First game, absolute freak, I think I pulled something. Im not really sure what exactly happened. I just came off the court," Raducanu said, adding, "Absolute freak injury, I think. I couldn't have done more about it. So that's it."
It was a disappointing end for the British No. 1 in her first grasscourt match of the season. She will be hoping to get fit in time to compete at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships later this month.
