Good luck to her - I hope she does play on until 50. She gives hope to all people in or past their mid-30s that you can still compete at sports!

Good on her, and I wish her the best. It's unlikely she'll up her game all that much, but symbolically she's doing a great thing by continuing... and if she loves doing it and that's why she is continuing, all the better.

She's filled with the love of the game and the love to compete to her best, never anything but a positive attitude, long may she continue to grace the courts of the world.

She loves the game, but you just cannot win body wise against a youngster.

But look at the bright side, as the body gets more worn out, the mind gets much better.

JapanGal: "But look at the bright side, as the body gets more worn out, the mind gets much better."

Would that that were so, but unfortunately that argument wouldn't fly at an Alzheimer's conference. Hope it works for Kate-Drumm, though.
