in tennis, as recently as 10-15 years ago, thirty years old was retirement age.
now, many players are seeing their best results at 30+, with several players 35+ still playing well.
reasons for this include improvements in equipment, fitness & recovery, nutrition, the mental game, travel arrangements, prize money, etc...
obviously, pro pool isn't nearly as organized, popular, or well-funded, but even in rec pool,
at what age might a player see their best results?
what did it used to be?
have things changed?
if so, why?
