What an incredible performance and maturity, surely a shoe in for SPOTY? Thought
Saka was a shoe in but not sure now.

It's one of the greatest sporting achievements of all time. It sounds like hyperbole, but it's absolutely incredible. But it's like San Marino winning the World Cup without conceding a goal. All on one 18 year old girl's shoulders.

Leicester winning the Premier League

Emma Raducanu winning a Grand Slam as a qualifier without conceding a set.

Can't decide which is more incredible?

I’m struggling with this too. I’ve flip flopped so much already, but I remember thinking after Leicester won the Prem that I would never witness a sporting shock on that magnitude. And yet it’s taken only 5 years.

She has a teenage naivety about her, but can do that on a huge stage, with no real previous experience.
The thing I liked most was when she kept playing the same ball, like she was playing down the local park.
