Tennis Dramaticas

In my childhood days i used to watch a lot of lawn tennis and there were so many younster women players jennifer capriati, stefi graff, monica seles...etc. Nowdays if you see tennis one gets to see all middle aged tennis players like they first spent youth elsewhere, got married and even had children, and then came to play deliberately in international tennis.

Earlier the young ladies tennis players used to play tennis first!

As i remember lindsay davenport was the first such women who started such middle aged tennis matches!!!

"Nowdays if you see tennis one gets to see all middle aged tennis players like they first spent youth elsewhere, got married and even had children, and then came to play deliberately in international tennis."

Faking young age could be a deception, just by looking one can make out guess the real age of aunties tennis players. By looking at their postures, movements...etc. Its mostly 28, 30, 33...etc They might had hidden their children at boarding schools to meet the demands of modern day tennis media!

Wow! That's dedication. You would really rather evoke a tennis conspiracy than admit you were incorrect.

 

I think a far simpler hypothesis would be that your OP was mistaken.

 

Maybe you are not eric555...maybe you are jim444! I have about as much evidence for my hypothesis as you do for yours.

The tennis season carries on round the year in different hemispheres.

How did they hide a pregnancy?

Did they send that off to some sort of boarding school?

However the really interesting question is what did they do in the meantime?

They claim to be 25. You say they are middle aged- that's typically taken as about 40.

What did they do for 15 years?

 

Anyway, to look properly at this you need to research the dates of birth and dates of first turning professional etc of the players and plot the two numbers.

If there's a correlation then tell us about it.

Incidentally, you might as well do the same with the men.
