For the sixth time in her brilliant career, world No. 1 Serena Williams has been voted the WTA Player of the Year.
The 33-year-old Williams closed out her up-and-down year by winning 26 of her last 29 matches. She cleared seven titles, including her 18th Grand Slam championship at the U.S. Open, which moved her into a three-way tie with Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova for second place on that Open Era list.
