Dec 19 (Reuters) - Tennis player Emma Raducanu was voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year on Sunday, receiving British sport's annual individual accolade as a reward for her remarkable U.S. Open triumph.
Raducanu stunned the sporting world in September when she became the first qualifier to win a major after beating Canada's Leylah Fernandez in the final at Flushing Meadows.
The 19-year-old was also the first British woman to claim a major title since Virginia Wade triumphed at Wimbledon in 1977.
