    Oh that just made him angry, I always added that no sport has the winner of a major tournament in their mid 40s.

      Sports that are more based on endurance than sprinting tend to have older people who do well. Mid-40s is pushing it for championship level, but you can still be competitive at that stage, and still participate well into old age if you don’t have any major health/injury issues.

      I mean… Tom Brady was a super bowl MVP in his 40s.

      Chris Chelios won a Stanley Cup in his 40s.

      But your point is well taken nonetheless.

        But that’s a team sport though. If we compare that to tennis the oldest tournament winner is Rosewall in the 70s at 37 years old and more recently Federer in 2018 at 36 years old.
