Kimiko Date Krumm oldest WTA title winner since 1983

The Japanese woman who turns 39 tomorrow won the tour title in Seoul today. Last year she made a comeback at the smaller ITF tournaments and this year she tried at the bigger tournaments but mostly because of the really hard draws she kept getting, she had not won a first round this year. That happened for the first time this week and she did a lot more than just winning 1 round. By beating Pavlyuchenko, Hantuchova, Kirilenko and Medina Garrigues she beat 4 top 30 players in a row. Her quick style of playing with great angles(typical asian style) proved too much for the other girls. Since Billie Jean King in 1983 a woman that old had not won. Amazing!!
