ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Serena Williams has set the record for single-season prize money in women's tennis by topping $6.5 million in 2009.
Williams broke the WTA mark of slightly under $5.5 million, earned by Justine Henin in 2007.
The American won the season-ending tour championships Sunday, beating older sister Venus in the final, and ends the year ranked No. 1. The younger Williams also won the Australian Open and Wimbledon in 2009.
