So our new tennis star wins, no surprise in a year with no other standout candidate, but you can only beat what is in front of you. I saw that she was 99-1 on with one bookie.

Also intriguing to see women winning 6 out of the 7 individual awards, albeit I had never heard of 4 of them. Am I out of touch or does everyone else feel underwhelmed with the "who?" reaction?

No surprise to see Verstappen not winning the overseas SPOTY, how dare he beat the icon that is Sir Louie.
