With just 2days to the start of a new year 2016, Serena Williams has reached a great milestone in her career, by been No.1 for the 150th week in a row. This week December 28, 2015, puts her right on top.
It was on Monday, February 18, 2013, right after reaching the finals in Doha, when She regained the No.1 ranking, her first time back at the top since her career-threatening injury and illness lay-off for 11 months across 2010 and 2011.
This is the third longest steak at No.1 in WTA history: below are the records.
186 weeks - Steffi Graf (August 17, 1987 to March 10, 1991)
156 weeks - Martina Navratilova (June 14, 1982 to June 9, 1985)
150 weeks - Serena Williams (February 18, 2013 to present)
