At 34 years old, Serena Williams continues to set records in the Women’s Tennis Association.  At one point during the season, Serena had more than twice the number of points as her next closest competitors, the first time in WTA history.

Serena also completed her second “Serena Slam,’ having won the Australian, French and Wimbleton this year to coincide with last year’s U.S. Open. All told, Serena collected more than $10.5 million in prize money in 2015. On Dec. 14, she was named Sports Illustrated’s Sportsperson of the Year, the first solo female to win the honor since Mary Decker in 1983.
