Williams took to her Instagram account to express her gratitude. “This year was spectacular for me. For SportsIllustrated to recognize my hard work, my dedication, and my sheer determination gives me hope to continue on and do better. As I always say, it takes a village it’s not just one person. This is not just an accomplishment for me, but for my whole team. I am beyond honored. I love you guys! 2016? #letsdoit”

Serena is the third woman to receive the honor outright since its inception back in 1954, and the first since Mary Decker won the award back in 1983.

Past recipients of the award include Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali and Billie Jean King.
