Tyson Fury by a country mile.
A World Champion in and out of the ring.
At least I think he deserved it.

It was always going to be Raducanu, and rightly so.

I do worry about her mental well being now though.
Has she competed much since her amazing win?

It's a fair point Hugo and something that I had thought about too, winning like that at such a young age puts a lot of pressure on her going forward. Her life will have been completely different following that evening of her US open win. She'll either crash or go on to win multiple grand slams. She hasn't played that much but then there's not much tennis going on between the US Open and Australian open. When she did okay she was underwhelming. Australian Open starts in just under 2 weeks. Oh and the fact that anti-vax Djokovic is allowed to enter AOnwith a medical exemption is an absolute joke. |

As a side note I've got a few quid on Felix Auger Aliassime at 110/1 to win AO. |

Australian Open hasn't started yet (starts next week), the tournament you are on about was the Sydney International which is a build up tourmmanent for the Australian open. |
