Serena Williams aims to claim her 11th tournament trophy to
round off one of the best years of her career, and warned her opponents at this
week's WTA season-ending championships that she can still improve.
"It's definitely one of the best years I have had... I'm still looking to improve and... I have a lot of room for improvement," Williams told reporters on Monday, the day before the eight-woman tournament begins.
The American world number one has won more matches and more titles than in any other year of her career, losing four times in 73 games in 14 events.
"I'm so excited for next year just to take my game to a new level," added Williams, who won the French and U.S. Opens this year to take her grand-slam total to 17.
"It's just been a great opportunity for me to continue to play, so I never thought I would have one of my best years this year but I always just try to keep doing better."
World number three Maria Sharapova will miss the championship because of a shoulder injury.
Williams said she expected a good match when she plays Kvitova, a dangerous opponent on a fast indoor surface, although the Czech player has never beaten her..
