During her illustrious journey, Serena Williams [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/serena-williams/] has enjoyed a number of remarkable seasons on the women’s tour. However, it was the former tennis ace’s 2013 season that is considered one of the greatest in the history of the sport. While delivering consistent on-court performances, the WTA legend amassed 11 singles titles, including two Grand Slam triumphs, in that particular tennis calendar. On top of this, the ‘Queen of the Court’ also secured two runners-up finishes, while she also had her best winning percentage of 95.1%, which is also the highest since 1990. With a 78-4 match record under her belt, the American tennis icon further concluded the 2013 season as the number one player on the WTA Tour. In the process, the 23-time singles Grand Slam champion also eclipsed a $10 million prize milestone, which hasn’t been surpassed by any other WTA player since then. NO OTHER WTA PLAYER HAS MANAGED TO EMULATE SERENA WILLIAMS’ 2013 PRIZE MONEY ACHIEVEMENT With 11 WTA singles titles in her bag, the American tennis legend reclaimed the world No. 1 status in singles and further managed to maintain the rankings till the end of the 2013 season.

Serena Williams' whopping $12,385,572 prize money achievement from the past that
no other WTA star has managed to bag in a season.

Like millions of fans around the world, my foray into the world of tennis began
after witnessing the incredible domination of the ‘King of Clay’ over the past
decade. It was my passion for tennis that initially drew me to the dynamic field
of sports journalism. My professional journey in sports journalism with
EssentiallySports has seen me cover over 1000 articles, focusing on almost every
ATP and WTA tournament, including Grand Slams. Away from work, online video
games like EA FC occupy most of my time, and I am an absolute geek about anime.
Aside from my love of tennis, to say that I am an avid soccer fan would be a
vast understatement. I am an ardent follower of the English Premier League club,
Chelsea FC. So, you can often find me having passionate discussions about the
West London club with fellow soccer aficionados on X.
