Wilson end at #1
Wilson ends the year as #1 in both the men’s ATP World Tour and the women’s Sony Ericsson WTA Tour. Roger Federer (playing with the [K] Six.One racket) held on to the #1 spot by winning the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London and Serena Williams ([K] Blade Team) won the season-ending championship for the second time in her career when she defeated her sister Venus to win the Sony Ericsson Championships in Doha, Qatar.
After winning the French Open title in June, Federer became the 6th man in history to win all four Grand Slam titles in his career. One month later, he won a record-breaking 15th Grand Slam title at Wimbledon, where he collected his 6th championship at the All England Club.
