Who is the most shocking Grand Slam champion ever?

You never know what might happen...

Nothing comes close to Raducanu. Teenager qualifier in her first US Open. Will never be done again

Emma Raducanu She managed to do it as a qualifier, dream run.

I'd say Goran Ivanišević winning Wimbledon in 2001. Ranked world No. 125, entering on a wildcard with a failing shoulder and somehow lifting the trophy

Becker because he did it twice & stayed at the top of the men's game for years afterwards. He shocked and rocked the world of tennis like no other. Kyrios shocks and rocks too but he does it to be crass, not to show class. Among one-hit wonders: It's a 3 way tie: among Vondrousova, Raducanu, and Gaudio.

I'd have to say Boris Becker. He was a kid and beat the best at Wimbledon

Even Vondrousova

Hard to say anyone other than Raducanu, was an incredible run!

100% Raducanu. The only qualifier to have won a Slam!

Raducanu is an obvious pick, but Keys winning Australia last year was a huge shock
