Emma Raducanu recently sat down with Elle to walk fans through what's inside her beautiful all-white Dior Lady D-Lite handbag. The bag might be 'Lite,' but there was nothing light about the luxurious purse as she packs it to the brim with great products and essentials. To be expected, the US Open champion carries a tennis ball with her everywhere she goes. Why? Two words: ball toss.

"I always take a ball," Raducanu told Ellle. I carry this because I practice my ball toss wherever I go. This is for you, coach!"

However, the tennis ball wasn't the very first thing she pulled out of her Dior purse, it was actually an all-black disposable film camera. Raducanu loves capturing moments during her travels, but especially on film because it allows her to be present. There is no checking to see how photos look when using a film camera like on an iPhone, which can easily distract people from enjoying what's happening around them in their efforts of trying to take the perfect photo.

Raducanu quickly snapped a selfie using the camera.

"Yeah, I probably blinked, but that's really cool to travel with," she said.

The major champion then pulled out a medal from one of the first tournaments she won. "I think it's really really special to carry this with me, almost like a good luck charm," Raducanu explained. "I think the big one from the US Open wouldn't fit in here." Apparently she's not only great at tennis, but her wit is top notch as well.

Raducanu also travels with her passports and yes there are multiple, since she holds citizenship in both Canada (where she was born) and Britain of course. At this point in the video, Raducanu was just getting started somehow with all of the fun and interesting things inside the mini bag. She manages to carry a new can of fresh balls in it, purely for the new tennis ball smells. "I like to try and pretend I'm healthy," Raducanu said as she pulled out a turmeric and ginger shot. Apparently she starts her day with the two powerful compounds that are packed with amazing benefits. "It's quite refreshing."

The world No. 13 proceeded to pull out face cleanser, mints, and then an all-white racquet to match the bag. "We've got this in case I wanted to practice my shadow swings and just sharpen up a bit before a big game," she said.

Currently Raducanu is spending time improving on her fitness before getting back onto the court. She's set to play Guadalajara's WTA 250 event which begins February 21.
