Emma Raducanu
Status: Winner
A stellar year of British Sport & a superb list of nominees, but the victor has to be @EmmaRaducanu.
Her run at Wimbledon was special & what she accomplished at the @usopen is unparalleled.
Phenomenal start of a hopefully long career, despite what Eddie Jones thinks.

Emma Radacanu deserved winner of #SPOTY Incredible US Open win, a young woman with star quality and huge talent.
Emma Raducanu is an absolute legend!! I was starting to think that a British woman would never win a grand slam again and then 18 year old Emma came along and shocked us all. I cried a lot after that US Open final. She is an incredible talent!! I just love her!! Love #SPOTY
I hope Emma Raducanu wins it was a fantastic achievement winning the U S Open #SPOTY
Time for #bbc #spoty. The can be only one winner. What @EmmaRaducanu did was simply incredible. From qualifying to US Open winner. The only person to ever win a slam as a qualifier. Not a single set dropped. Crazy good achievement. #VoteEmma
Emma Raducanu's US Open win was outstanding and the highlight of the sporting year, hope she wins #SPOTY, would be the first woman in 15 years
Southgate wins #SPOTY coach of the year
Again, he didn't win anything.
It truly is shocking how some of these awards are handed out.
Surely Emma Hayes, Chelsea Women's manager should have got it. Done a brill job, and heck one of the best pundits at the Euros
Well done to all finalists. I'm voting for @EmmaRaducanu because what she achieved in such a small space of time was just unthinkable, incredible, amazing and inspirational

#SPOTY Yeah Emma won the US Open but she aint done fuckall since. Not even played well. So to win 1 tournament and get SPOTY???? No not for me thanks. Gypsy King is the real winner
Amazing results in the #SPOTY awards, with an extra special well done to @EmmaRaducanu and @TomDaley1994, two truly amazing and inspirational athletes!
Emma Raducanu winning the US Open was incredible - well deserved #SPOTY winner - but also sad for @TomDaley1994 who really deserved the award Imo - WD both though
You're welcome Emma we love you!
Congrats on your award, this won't be the last time you win SPOTY!

Vote for Emma Raducanu for #SPOTY A phenomenal, history making achievement and a great role model and champion!
Emma Radicanu has to win #SPOTY surely what an incredible year she's had coming back after that setback at Wimbledon to absolutely smash it at the US open what a wonderful achievement
Congratulations Emma Raducanu, voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2021, recognising her once in a century breakthrough sporting achievement to win the US Open, at her first attempt, as a qualifier #SPOTY
Emma Raducanu, the US Open champion, is crowned BBC Sports Personality of the Year for 2021, the first female winner since the Queen's granddaughter Zara Phillips in 2006. Incredible to think during the 2020 show she was 345th in the world and studying for her A Levels #SPOTY
The most historic ace ever Just Phenomenal Talent. Raducanu is brilliant! #SPOTY
All women winning the major awards so far, come on Emma #spoty (I love Rachel Blackmore)
Huge congratulations @EmmaRaducanu on becoming 2021 BBC sports personality of the year a fantastic winner and very much deserved #SPOTY #BBCSPOTY @BBCSPOTY
Thoroughly deserved the #SPOTY Emma Raducanu. Others were great too but just couldn't write her story with her age was an incredible achievement!
Surely the winner should be Emma Raducanu - her US Open triumph was SUCH a moment Love #SPOTY
Emma's win was the greatest underdog story. She was bound to win this. And deservedly so. And she is such a nice person! #SPOTY
Yayy! Well done @EmmaRaducanu on winning #SPOTY!
You gave us one of the best moments of the year & brought the country together to watch a game of tennis
Congratulations to the fabulous @EmmaRaducanu. Thoroughly deserved win! #SPOTY
Not sure #SPOTY is going to be good for me. Watching us lose that penalty shoot out again.....and Lewis being robbed.....great.
Hope Emma wins as hers is one of the greatest underdog stories of all time! And she is such a lovely girl!
Part of me wants Emma Raducanu to never win anything again, just to prove what a miracle it was.
I would kind of like her to get loads of piercings, start taking coke and marry a member of the Grateful Dead.
#raducanu #SPOTY
So glad one of the dopers didn't win #spoty Well done Emma!
I have just for Emma Raducanu for #SPOTY as she so deserves after her remarkable win at the US Open after winning it as a qualifier...something that has never been done before and probably won't be done again
That was the most likely winner of #SPOTY since Andy won Wimbledon in 2013!
Well done Emma Raducanu!
Just voted for @EmmaRaducanu to win #spoty. She will be a very worthy winner.
My pick for #SPOTY is the super-talented,
Emma Raducanu
To win the US Open is a special achievement and to do so in the way she did, with such grace, determination and maturity in one so young, clinches it for me.
The bookies have her at 1/20 and I don't blame them. Emma Raducanu's win was not just an extraordinary British sports achievement. It was the first of its kind in tennis. A truly remarkable feat that is unlikely to be equaled for a long time.
#SPOTY
Surely @EmmaRaducanu a shoe in for #SPOTY? Not only a surprise, fantastic Champion, but the bubbly, enthusiastic personality to match! #TeamEmma
Why are people so against Emma Raducanu winning Sport's Personality of the Year? She made her grand slam debut at Wimbledon, got to the second week & in only her second ever slam, became the first person ever to come through qualifying to take the title! Incredible story! #SPOTY
Sports Personality Of The Year tonight and my money for the BBC Camera Trophy is on Emma Raducanu as she totally deserves to win after an amazing year she had following her success at the US Open.#BBCSPOTY #SPOTY
So many cool people. So much to teach us about excellence and resilience and the sheer joy of doing something you love. #SPOTY #stirling #emmaraducanu
Congratulations to Emma Raducanu for winning the sports personality of the year award it's absolutely well deserved #SPOTY

Congratulations to Emma Raducanu on her #SPOTY win. Looks like she received her award after just finishing her shift at Waitrose
#SPOTY
@adam_peaty @DameSarahStorey or @EmmaRaducanu are my short list to win, all 3 worthy winners in my eyes.
I love #SPOTY - it's always great to reminisce on the past year in sport. Raducanu wins it for me
