I remember a good 15 years ago when Martina (do I really need to mention the last name?) was listed along with Conners, Niklaus and others as legends who still played their sport. And at age 49, she's in the mixed doubles semis at the French this year. I saw her and Pam Shriver win the US Open Doubles final in '82. This is 2006!! I'd like to shake that woman's hand. Calling her an "inspiration" doesn't even begin...

Also mentioned in the article was McEnroe, Nastase, Clerc and Jarryd playing legends doubles. It was a heartwarming description of people who, with the fierce fight of youth behind them, just having a great time, entertaining themselves and the crowd. Beautiful!
