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.

5 killed in Tiananmen Square vehicle crash
Five people including a Philippine tourist were killed and 38 were
injured after a vehicle ploughed into crowds in Beijing's Tiananmen
Square Monday and caught fire, police said. The blaze sent clouds of smoke billowing into the air near a giant
portrait of Mao Zedong that dominates one end of the square, the site of
pro-democracy protests in 1989 which were brutally crushed by the
authorities.
Witnesses and reports said the SUV vehicle drove along the pavement
outside the Forbidden City, the former imperial palace, before
crashing-prompting speculation the incident was intentional.
Immediately afterwards a security operation swung into force on the vast square, the symbolic centre of the Chinese state.
"I saw a car turn a bend and suddenly it was driving on the pavement. It
happened fast but looked like it knocked people over," one eyewitness,
who did not want to be named, told AFP.
"I heard an explosion and saw fire. The scene was very frightening," he
added. "There were paramilitary police who told people to get back into
their cars and stop taking pictures."
Images posted on Chinese social media sites showed the blazing shell of
the SUV and a plume of black smoke rising near a portrait of communist
China's founder that hangs on the towering wall of the former imperial
palace, while crowds looked on.
