Teenage US Open champion Emma Raducanu has been voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2021. |
Raducanu, then 18, ended Britain's 44-year wait for a women's Grand Slam singles champion with her remarkable victory at Flushing Meadows. |
In a public vote, diver Tom Daley placed second and swimmer Adam Peaty was third. |
Manchester City and England forward Raheem Sterling, boxer Tyson Fury, and Great Britain's most successful Paralympian Sarah Storey were also shortlisted for the main award. |
"It's such an honour just to be among these nominees. Congrats to you and all your achievements," Raducanu said. |
"I'm really happy with this, I've watched Sports Personality of the Year growing up and it's an honour to be among those past winners. |
"I'm happy for British tennis as well, and that we've managed to get this award...again!" |
Andy Murray was the last tennis player to win the award, with his third coming in 2016. Raducanu is the first female to win the award since Zara Phillips, now Tindall, in 2006. |
In winning the US Open title in September with a 6-4 6-3 victory over fellow teenager Leylah Fernandez, Raducanu became: |
The youngest women's Grand Slam champion since Maria Sharapova at Wimbledon in 2004 |
The youngest Briton to win a Grand Slam title |
The first woman to win the US Open without dropping a set since Serena Williams in 2014 |
