Falkenberg, 69, wins professional match

That headline should be enough to get you in.

Now, let’s go deeper. Gail Falkenberg, a 69-year-old tennis player who played her first professional match back in 1986 as a 39-year-old, completed a 6-0 6-1 thumping of Rosalyn Small.

It was just her third ever win, and first since 1996. Check out her career playing activity – it makes for some interesting reading.

Next up for Falkenberg is Taylor Townsend, the prodigal American who reached the third round at Roland Garros as an 18-year-old in 2004 and was in early 2015 ranked inside the top 100.

Gail Falkenberg, 69, won her first Alabama qualifying match over a 22-y.o. snapping a 32-match losing streak (only thrice winning 3+ games).

That match-up doesn’t bode well for Falkenberg, when you watch video snippets from her match against Small.

Keep in mind, when watching, that THIS IS AN OFFICIALLY-SANCTIONED, PROFESSIONAL TENNIS MATCH.
