    Not a huge fan of individual sports but clearly an amazing achievement I read that she hasn’t dropped a set fingers crossed for her in the final.

    She'll face some tough competition in the general award, remember there's Jason Kenny in there too.

    It’s certainly wide open for her
    Women’s tennis is in the doldrums
    There’s no real stars
    I doubt anyone could name a top ten player apart from barty

    No tie breakers either. Nobody has got near her.
    Another win would be incredible.

    Got 4-1 for her to win Sports Personality but this was before last night's game. Nice £50 back if she wins it. <cheers>

    What interests me is her not playing competetive tennis for 18 months due to COVID as all tennis below WTA was cancelled.

    I wonder if this has actually benefited her development compared to joining the tour too early, or whether she would already be top 10 if she had been able to play.

    Just finished watching it now.

    It’s obviously not the same when you know the result, but it was a hugely impressive performance nonetheless. Roll on tomorrow…

    This is only the 4th 'open' tournament (grand tour) she has entered and played... getting loads of help from Henman,...

    A remarkable achievement, let's hope she can go one step further and lift the Trophy.

    I think Emma's going to do this and for those that have put money on her winning sports personality of the year...
    Congratulations my friends, I reckon she's nailed on.

    A word of caution though Emma, they'll try and bring you down!

    One hour of chit chat with God knows who. Though, note, radio 5 also has a 8pm start. Worth checking the off time. Me thinks.

    Pretty sure it's 9pm Duff but as you say, worth checking.
