Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: “In tennis, it looks as though Andy Murray could call time on a magnificent career, with the three-time Grand Slam winner 5/6 to retire from professional tennis. However, tennis fans in the UK have a new star to cheer on and after an incredible performance at Wimbledon and a historic US Open win, Emma Raducanu is as short as 17/10 to repeat her Grand Slam success and win one of the major tournaments in 2022. It could be a summer to remember for the young tennis superstar, with her 15/2 to win a home Grand Slam, Wimbledon.
“Raducanu was the odds-on 1/20 favourite to win the 2021 BBC Sports Personality of the Year after defying the odds at the US Open. For the next year’s award, she finds herself at 9/1 to win it again with Lewis Hamilton the 5/1 favourite.
“In boxing, the much-anticipated bout between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury was called off in 2021, but it looks as though it could be happening in 2022 with the pair Evens to finally fight.
“It’ll be hard to top the excitement that the 2021 F1 season brought us with Max Verstappen dramatically beating Lewis Hamilton to win a first ever Drivers Championship. It looks as though the rivalry is set to continue and Hamilton is the early 4/5 to reclaim his throne next year, with Verstappen just behind him at 2/1.”
