Candidates for a 40 & over WTA Summer League? Major winners only

Lol this thread is almost 20 years old. I hope Venus never retires.

Slay bestie she’s playing Indian Wells lol

I love it. I hope this thread gets bumped in 10 more years and she's still playing.

She’ll take a WC into Wimbledon and get double bageled at age 53 and still leave with a standing ovation from the crowd.

I think she could still hold serve once or twice on grass.

Auntie arrives on-court to her theme by The Shocking Blue! But what will she wear???

It’s iconic lol

She beat Giorgi last year and was up a break in the third against Ostapenko.

I can’t remember the name, but I found a wta pro who was born after Venus played her first pro match in 1994, grew up, turned pro at 16, and retired at age 24 because of persistent injury. Her entire existence and run as a pro did not outlast Venus’s tennis career.

i mean I'm sure a lot of players fit that bill, especially if we're considering lower ranked players who never became publicly well known. most famous example would probably be Barty?

 

[TennisBro]

When she depends on WCs too much

 

[jarko111]

I mean. How many wildcards has she received this year so far.
It’s still exciting to me to have her in the draw. And remember her relationship to this event is rather a journey of emotion.
I hope she plays Miami if she doesn’t injure herself here.
That’s the main issue. She seems to get injured at every event she does get a WC into. Then we don’t see her for 6 months.

She did get entry into Miami as well so that's the plan.

Speaking of Venus in IW:

She's too late.
Hardly a whimper during this years Sunshine Double. While taking up slots that could've given a rising player a chance.

 

[LuckyR]

When? 2018.

 

[Musterrific]

Is she just bored? Wouldn't know what to do in life without tennis?

 

[MichaelNadal]

She needs to play qualies if she has any serious expectations of being competitive

 

[Darksong]

Adored her in her day, but she should only be entered into events based on her ranking now. Wild cards being located are scandalous.

Nah, there is wheelchair tennis. May pay her to sit in the crowd, like her Sis

She's tuff when the ball is hit directly to her. Did you watch the Miami match yesterday as she tried desperately to get in and out of the corners against a 19 year old unknown? Why tarnish your image this badly. Crowd was not involved at all as the outcome was obvious.

She looks like she is moving in slow motion when she serves.

To state the obvious, they need to stop handing her wildcards
