16 W CARRILLO (COL) / GOMEZ (COL) 6-1 6-3
QF W CE (BRA) / SEGNINI (BRA) 6-4 1-6 [10-8]

:eek: was she important when she was at her best?

Re: Margaret Lumia (54y.) is still playing and winning matches
 

no, i actually think she can have her first ranking now :lol:

That´s because she had a good partner:angel::p

She needs 10 points or 3 tournaments with points to be in rankings though, SF in 10k is not enough

Former world #23 and Wimbledon doubles champion Joanne Russell played $10,000 Williamsburg in October 2009. Less than a month before her 55th birthday.

There have been some over 60 years old playing US ITF-s qualies, I beleive.

There is also Elizabeth Freeman-Young, who only played her first event aged 47. Played WTA Cincinatti qualifying in 2005, while 50 years old.

Good for her! If she's got the money to do a little bit of traveling and play some tournaments, she might as well if she can compete!
