Japan's 40-year-old wonder woman Kimiko Date-Krumm beat newly-married Argentine Gisela Dulko 7-5, 6-0 on Tuesday in a post-honeymoon wake-up call to reach the second round of the San Diego Open.
Date-Krumm won the event in 1996 back in her first tennis life and just before she retired to eventually spend 11 years out of the game.
Her victory in just under 90 minutes with six breaks of the distracted Dulko got Date-Krumm off to a much more promising start at this edition after losing in qualifying rounds a year ago.
