Serena Williams believes her best years may still be ahead of her after she ended 2013 in record-breaking style on Sunday. The 32-year-old American successfully defended her WTA Championships
title, beating Li Na, 2-6, 6-3, 6-0, to finish 2013 with a 78th victory
against just four losses, and 11th title of the year. Williams finished the campaign with prize money of $12,385,572,
shattering the all-time women's record set last year by Victoria
Azarenka, who won $7,923,920.
It's also the third-highest single season prize money total in tennis
history, men's and women's -- only Novak Djokovic's 2011 and 2012 totals
are higher.
She is the fourth player ever to win four or more titles at the season-ending event and the oldest champion.
Williams is also the first player to win 11 WTA titles in a season since 1997 when Martina Hingis won 12.
orryingly for her flagging rivals, she now boasts a record of winning 32 of her last 34 matches against top five players.
Furthermore, Sunday's triumph may just persuade Williams that adding to
her 17 Grand Slam titles during 2014 is certainly possible, and that
winning another six, to overhaul Steffi Graf, might eventually come
within reach too.
