Serena Williams won Sportswoman of the Year for her incredible 2009 campaign, which included winning the Australian Open and Wimbledon titles and a return to the year-end #1 ranking.
Kim Clijsters won Comeback Player of the Year for her brilliant effort returning to the game. Let's recap: elite player retires to marry and start a family, is asked to participate in a Wimbledon exhibition, from that decides to return 20 months after retiring, wins US Open in just her 3rd tournament back. Comeback Player of the Decade if you ask me.
