Emma Raducanu turned heads once again at Wimbledon—not for her groundstrokes, but for what she was holding courtside. The British tennis star, known for her on-court composure and off-court quirks, was spotted sipping a vibrant smoothie during her latest practice session, sparking speculation that her long-standing habit of munching on bananas during matches may be coming to an end.
For years, Raducanu’s banana breaks have become a familiar sight during matches. The potassium-packed fruit has been a staple among tennis players for decades, helping with muscle recovery and energy levels. But this latest twist—a brightly colored smoothie in hand—has fans wondering if Emma is moving toward a new era of nutrition.
Social media was quick to react. “Banana era over? Smoothie supremacy begins!” one fan tweeted, while another asked, “What’s in the cup, Emma?” The mystery smoothie—possibly a blend of berries, spinach, and protein—has yet to be confirmed by her team, but its presence has certainly stirred up curiosity.
Whether the smoothie signals a permanent shift in her dietary routine or is just a one-off Wimbledon treat remains to be seen. But one thing’s for sure—Emma Raducanu continues to keep fans guessing both on and off the court.
As she ramps up preparations for a comeback at the All England Club, all eyes will be on her game—and her courtside snacks. Is the banana benched for good? Stay tuned.
