Women’s Tennis: World No.1 at 75!

By Prof Dr Ian Blackshaw

Marjory Love, from Renfrewshire in Scotland, has been playing tennis for more than 50 years.

In 2024, she became the top ranked women’s player in the world over the age of 75, and this month won the Scottish Senior Open Competition.

She stated that she was “overwhelmed” by this success and encouraged people to stay active in later life.

She aims to keep playing tennis into her 90s and remarked that:

It doesn’t matter what you do, if there’s something that you enjoy and you’re active, or even if you’re just interested in doing something, just keep doing it as long as you’re able.”

A recipe for a long and healthy life!
