According to a credible source, Milos Raonic is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the tennis player's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

UPDATE 16/05/2025 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Why not Raonic for Person of the Year?

The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 34-year-old tennis player, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Raonic so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the tennis player have already been named ‘Canadian Of The Year’ by some major Canadian newspapers and even ‘Titograd Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Titograd (Milos Raonic's hometown).

Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year

A representative for the tennis player was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:

“Milos Raonic Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 15 May 2025
“Congrats! Milos has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 15 May 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Milos Raonic?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 15 May 2025

Could 2025 officially be the Year of Milos Raonic?

Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.

Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
