So, since Martina Navratilova in 2004, we hadn't seen anything like this, when the Czech was 47 years old and still proving that age was never an issue for her. Now that Venus Williams has surpassed the debut at WTA Washington at 45 years old, it's a good time to review which were the oldest players of the Open Era who managed to achieve a victory on the circuit. As of now, Venus doesn't even make it into the top 10, dominated colossally by Dodo Cheney and the incredible feat she achieved in 1973 at a remarkable 57 years old.
