Serena Williams Claims Number One in Women's Tennis

US tennis star Serena Williams has clinched the year-end women's world number one ranking for the third time in her career. Williams is the oldest female player to earn the top ranking.

Serena Williams has secured the year-end world number one ranking, the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) said in a statement Friday. She has held the title twice before in 2002 and 2009.

The American has earned a 67-4 record this season and won nine singles titles on the WTA Tour, including the French Open and the US Open crowns. She has a career total of 55 titles with 17 major wins.

On Monday, Williams will have held the top position for a total of 156 weeks, the WTA said.

Williams will be presented with her world number one trophy during the WTA Championships in Istanbul next month.
