Emma Raducanu looks set to be crowned the BBC Sports Personality of the Year winner if the latest betting trends are anything to go by.
The 18-year-old defeated Leylah Fernandez 6-4 6-3 in the US Open final at Arthur Ashe Stadium last Saturday to become Great Britain's first female grand slam winner in 44 years.
BoyleSports trimmed her chances gradually into 8/1 from 66/1 over the course of the tournament but following her big win, those odds have crashed into a red-hot 1/20 making her the runaway favourite from Tom Daley who is the second favourite at 10/1.
The BBC World Sports Star title could be going to Elaine Thompson-Herah who has been trimmed into 4/6 from 5/4. The Jamaican followed up her Olympic 100m-200m double in Tokyo by coming within 0.05 seconds of Florence Griffith Joyner’s 33-year-old 100m world record in a Diamond League meeting recently.
She is now the new favourite to deny Novak Djokovic the title after his odds were eased out to 6/4 from 4/7 having failed to complete the calendar Grand Slam this year.
