It all comes down to three things for the 37-year-old.

With a 7-5, 6-4 win over Garbine Muguruza in Singapore, Venus Williams advanced to the WTA Finals semifinals. The 37-year-old was in a good mood right after the victory, and playfully revealed the secret to her long-lasting success.

"I use a lot of sun protection, sunscreen. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables," Williams said. "That's been the key to my success."

The world No. 5 has been asked the same question a lot this year, and hasn't failed to give an entertaining answer (see: Australian Open).

The win on Thursday was revenge for her Wimbledon final loss to Muguruza. In her five career appearances at the year-end championships, Williams has never not advanced to the semifinals.

She's attempting to win her first WTA Finals crown since 2008. Her first WTA Finals appearance was 18 years ago in 1999.
