    Venus reminded her inquisitors that age doesn’t matter, and why would it, when she is ranked 9th in the worldhttp://nyti.ms/2x9ic02

        THANK YOU FOR THIS. So sick of hearing her age when she's an American treasure and tennis legend. Focus on THAT!

        A far more interesting question is, what are the ages of all those ranked BELOW her?

        She's an "old lady" for pro tennis. But she is a threat for a title as long as Serena's down, so she must be respected.

        C'mon DA, I love Venus, but it's got to. To the point that she can beat everybody but her sister. The only thing I can see is age on that.

        I agree with this, but at the same time her AGE is what make this accomplishment such a huge deal. Being black & on top isn't enough now 😂😂

        We ask about lebrons age all the time and he's the best. Perfectly legitimate to wonder how long greatness can outlast Father Time

        Only jealous white people keep pressing her about her age. Queen Venus remains unbothered.
