Serena Williams named the Associated Press Female Athlete Of The 2015 Year

NEW YORK, NY, USA 
Serena Williams has gotten yet another accolade for her phenomenal 2015 season, being named the Associated Press Female Athlete Of The Year for the fourth time. 
 In a vote by US editors and news directors, Williams was chosen in somewhat of a landslide, earning 50 first place votes - soccer star Carli Lloyd finished in second place with 14 first place votes. UFC stars Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm and basketball player Breanna Stewart rounded out the Top 5. Williams had one of her very best seasons in 2015, collecting three Grand Slam titles - the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon - to bring her career haul to 21, holding the World No.1 ranking from start to finish, and winning a whopping 53 of her 56 matches during the year (the only losses coming to Petra Kvitova, Belinda Bencic and Roberta Vinci at Madrid, Toronto and the US Open).
