Tennis is endurance now: average age top 10 men 29.7, women 27.3

[AllPlayersAreGood]

Average age of the top 10 men is 29.7 years.

Average age of the top 10 women is 27.3 years (could have been even older because No.11 Penetta and No.12 V. Williams are 34 and 36)

Tennis is now a game of endurance. Due to human physiology, athletes in endurance sports reach their peak much later, in late twenties and early thirties.

It gets better. Top 10 men average age is 30.4 years. It was like 5 years ago when tennis experts were calling 30 the tennis AARP cut-off.

It gets even better. The average age of the world top 10 in GOLF is 30 years old, same as tennis.

GOLF, dammit it! OLD people play golf! What is the world coming to?

Tennis should hang its head in shame! Mandatory culling of players once they hit age 29 would be a start.

There is only one option left. Each player must be implanted with a "life-clock" crystal in the palm of their hand that changes color as they get older and begins blinking as they approach 30, at which point they are sent to Finland.
