World number one ranking tennis star Serena Williams recently won the award for Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year. She also went on to feature on the cover of the magazine looking hot as ever.

 

This year was spectacular for me. For @SportsIllustrated to recognize my hard work, my dedication, and my sheer determination gives me hope to continue on and do better. As I always say, it takes a village it's not just one person. This is not just an accomplishment for me, but for my whole team. I am beyond honored. I love you guys! 2016? #letsdoit âu00c2u009d¤ï¸u00c2u008fðu00c2u009fu00c2u0092u00c2u008b
