    PARIS, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- Swiss tennis icon Roger Federer won his fifth and sixth Laureus statuettes, becoming the most decorated Laureus winner in history at the 2018 awards ceremony in Monaco on Tuesday.

    Federer, the 2017 Australian Open and Wimbledon winner, claimed the Sportsman of the Year and the Comeback of the Year Awards.

    "This is a very special moment for me. Everyone knows how highly I value my Laureus Awards, so to win another would have been wonderful, but to win two is a truly unique honor.

    "It was an unforgettable year for me, to come back after a very difficult 2016, and these Awards just make it even more memorable," said Federer.

    Federer continued his hot momentum into 2018, as he defended the Australian Open title, before becoming the oldest ATP world No. 1 earlier this month.

    Another tennis player, Serena Williams of the United States, won the Sportswoman of the Year Award following her 23rd Grand Slam title at Australian Open. With five Laureus statuettes in hand, Williams, who gave birth to a child in 2017, is now the most decorated female Laureus Award winner.

    French Vendee Globe winning sailor Armel Le Cleach received the Action Sportsperson of the Year Award, while Swiss wheelchair racer Marcel Hug won the World Sportsperson of the Year with a Disability Award for his three titles at the 2017 World Para Athletics Championships.
