2022 has been a landmark season for tennis legends
Rafael Nadal and
Serena Williams, albeit for different reasons.
The Spaniard became the all-time record holder for most Grand Slams on the men's tour after winning the Australian Open in January. He followed that feat up by winning a record-extending 14th French Open title on his beloved clay, taking his tally to 22 Grand Slams.
Meanwhile, 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams returned to competitive tennis only to announce her retirement after the US Open, bidding adieu to the sport after a career that stretched across more than two decades.
For their exploits, the duo have been nominated, amongst many other celebrities like LeBron James, Chloe Kim, etc., for the People's Choice Awards' Game Changer of 2022.
