Djokovic, Williams crowned ITF world champions
Serbia's Novak Djokovic and US player Serena Williams were on Tuesday
announced as this year's International Tennis Federation world
champions, based on their performances in tournaments throughout 2012.
The sport's governing body also said that US brothers Bob and Mike
Bryan were men's doubles world champions for the ninth time in 10 years,
while Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci of Italy were the women's
equivalent.
Dutch wheelchair tennis legend Esther Vergeer won the title for the

fourth Paralympics in a row. Stephane Houdet of France won the men's
award.
Djokovic, 25, finished top of the world rankings after successfully
defending his Australian Open title and reaching the finals of the
French Open and US Open. It is the second year in succession that he has
been named ITF world champion.
