With the increased emphasis on volleying in women’s tennis, tour players can often play into their late 30s. Occasionally, you even see a player still on tour in her 40s.
That’s not to say that this is where you’ll find the best WTA players. Unlike football or basketball, where wily veterans can capitalize on a full career of experience, women’s tennis in particular is a sport centered around elite success at a young age. It’s common to see Grand Slam winners in their mid-20s or younger.Â
Still, eagle-eyed tennis fans can find an older player playing for the occasional WTA prize money paycheck – especially on the doubles circuit.Â
These are the oldest women still playing on the WTA tour, as of July 7, 2026.
