The most talked about athlete this year is certainly miss Serena Willams. The 34-year old tennis have made series of record-breaking performances on tennis courts across the globe including winning three Grand Slam events : Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon.
“This year was spectacular,” Serena Williams stated in a press release. “For Sports Illustrated to recognize my hard work, dedication and sheer determination with this award gives me hope to continue on and do better. As I always say, it takes a village— not just one person. This is not just an accomplishment for me, but for my whole team and all my fans. I am beyond honored.”
This is the first time since 1983, a female athlete is honored on her own by the magazine. For the occasion, Serena has been photographed for the cover of the magazine, sitting on a throne, just like the queen that she is !
Congrats to her !
