Patty Schnyder is now on counted as a tennis playing veteran, which means that Lindsay Davenport, Jill Craybas and Tamarine Tanasugarn are not the only aged 30 and up players on the tour.
Earlier this year, the Swiss also marked her 500th win of a match on Pro Tour after she defeated Tamira Paszek, which makes her the 26th player to ever have so much wins.
"I never thought I'd play 500 matches, let alone win that many," Schnyder said after her Bali win. "I'm very proud of my career and I can keep improving, even at my age. Here I am knocking on the door of the Top 10 again, it's amazing. I wonder myself how much longer I can go. It's a great surprise and I hope I keep surprising myself." One of her stated goals is to return to Bali next year as one of the qualifiers for the new Tournament of Champions.
Schnyder also made some more impressing things this year, such as finishing in the Top Ten at the end of the year, reaching high steps of the tournaments in Bali, Gold Coast, Roland Garros, and the US Open.
