Kimiko Date begins comeback by taking out number 1 seed

It's a 50k event, the tournament in Gifu, Japan. Nevertheless, its top seed, Aiko Nakamura, has been knocked out by none other than 37-year-old Kimiko Date Krumm, who has returned to the tour.

Date Krumm retired in 1996 with seven career singles titles. She reached the semifinals of both the Australian Open and Roland Garros, and the quarterfinals of both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open (twice).
