Kimiko Date Krumm, the wild card and the oldest player in the draw who turned 40 on Tuesday, advanced the third round of the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo.
Date Krumm beat defending champion and former world No.1 Maria Sharapova 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 in the first round on Monday. And she celebrated her 40th birthday with a victory, 2-6, 6-0, 4-0, over Daniela Hantuchova in the second round on Tuesday.
Unfortunately, Date Krumm was defeated against French Open champion Francesca Schiavone 3-6, 3-6 on Wednesday.
I was really surprised and very moved by her great performance. I am so encouraged. Thank you, Kimiko! I will do my best here and now.
