wooooo fierce cover

Right. She looks so good

Wow. Talent always wins.

She's the first woman since 1983

she looks AMAZING!! poor others...

No, it's Roberta Vinci.

Congrats on the honor, but I don't like the cover. It looks like a GQ cover, not SI.

If you read the article youd see why it was given to Serena over Novak. She took on issues of race and gender this year and held the WTA on her back. She also brought a lot of publicity to her sport around the world because of her attempt at the grand slam.

Just because she is a black women doesn't mean she "took on issues."

Serena Williams is not well known around the world, either. Maria Sharapova, Caroline Wozniacki, Victoria Azarenka, Roberta Vinci, Ana Ivanovic, Martina Hingis, Simona Halep, Venus Williams are all way more well known.

You are EMBARASSING

It should be King Novak Djokovic.

Did I lie about Serena being less known than Venus? Stay mad!

confused. Serena is GOAT. Would Billie Jean King lie?

BJK only likes Americans. That's also the only reason she likes Sharapova.

The real sportsperson of the year was Roberta Vinci

I don't know if you're being serious but if you read the article you'd see she spoke out many times about racial equality this year and even donated her Indian Wells proceeds to the Equal Justice Initiative.

Queen!! Dem legs!!

You can't actually believe those names you listed There's a reason Azarenka is referred to as guest.
