    Think she's just playing cos she wants to and enjoys it. Doubt money would be the issue. I mean she doesn't go too deep in tourneys so she wouldn't be making much.

    its crazy these young players are get schooled by this old lady lol. True respect

    I livebet for Muguruza when Date had a setpoint in set 1, after Mugu even pulled out set 1, I thought: 'granny will never come back now, a nice and solid bet '

    But then shit happened lol, mad respect for Date though

    You do know that she was retired for 12 years, right? Now, why she decided to come back i have no idea. The current state of WTA is horrible so she can play for another 10 years..

    ^this yeah, I strongly overestimated the chances of a current WTA player with a few recent wins behind her name, haha.

    Of course she needs the money. You wouldn't play tennis for a living while you still can? Once she retires, what will she do? Farm rice?
