She even used the hashtag #thelimitdoesnotexist clearly indicating that there is no limit for any sportsman; age is just a number and a player can play and win for as long as he can stay strong.

Phil Mickelson’s triumph is a testimony that if one has willpower, anything is possible at any age. He proved that a player can not only play at 50 but can even be victorious if he plays well. The same is even true for Roger Federer and Serena Williams in tennis since they have continued to give tough competition to the youngsters. Will either of them be able to succeed at the French Open 2021?
