Sports Illustrated announced on Monday that Serena Williams was the 2015 "Sportsperson of the Year," capping off an absolutely dominant campaign for women's tennis' top player.
This year, the 34-year-old showed why she's not only the best women's tennis player of our generation, but of all time. Williams won three of the first four Grand Slams, and four in a row dating back to 2014, before her loss in the 2015 US Open semifinal.
