    Ideal age is every one that allows both feet to hit the floor in the morning. I had alot of fun in my 20s and 30s but now at 41, my oldest is for the first time very conscious of Christmas and santa. If I was to go back I wouldn't be able to experience that and what ever other thrills and spills parenting brings.

    Late 30's to early 40's for me, that's when most men peak and are relatively secure and settled.

    I take pretty good care of my body these days so should be fit and limber as long as I'm alive.

    Don't count on it

    Just saying

    They all peaked around 24. Roger peaked in 2006, Nadal in 2010 and Djokovic in 2011. The fact they are still winning is because their levels were so high they could afford to drop a lot and still win.
    This is the most stupid thing i have read!

    20 / 21 - but with the experienced brain of a 60 year old.

    If you could be one age for the rest of your life, what would it be?

    I'm 36, and don't think I've ever been happier or enjoying life more, except maybe for some periods during childhood. But as an adult at 36, this is my happiest. I still have my health, I look good, I have loads of energy, much more confidence. So for me, 36 is a great age, I'd be happy to be this age forever.


    I was daydreaming today over an old girlfriend. We used to have to wait until her mother went upstairs to watch the news. My hearing was triggered for that outplay. Then the day her Dad decided to come home early. Thankfully he was fully locked or I probably wouldn't be typing this.


    Yeah 30s were good. 40s probably more so with mortgage getting paid down, promotions etc.


    Later not so much and this time of year makes me a little morose.

    If I could go back in time, I'd be 24. Great years. Old enough to do 'grown up things ' and young enough to get away.

    It's correct. That's when they peaked. That's what happens when players get older, it shouldn't be a surprise.

    That's just like your opinion

    Where's the evidence they peaked at 24

    The young women are still there

    I'm getting more selective about which hard drugs I take

    Probably around 28. You're in the mature end of the young person spectrum but to your elders you're still a young person and can behave as such.

    You can have some of the perks of adulthood (Education completed, decent job, nice partner, plenty of travel) but you usually don't yet have the downsides (your whole life devoted to kids, mortgage, marriage, no time or disposable income for lots of travel etc etc)

    Late 20's is a special age.
