Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on September 05, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Filippo Volandri! May your celebrations be as powerful and precise as that legendary right-handed forehand of yours. From climbing to World No. 25 in July 2007 to conquering the Sicily International title back in September 2006, you've always served up excitement on court.

Here's hoping this birthday brings you more joy than a perfectly executed drop shot—and fewer surprises than facing Nadal on clay! Keep swinging strong, Filippo; may your year ahead be filled with victories both big and small, laughter louder than an umpire's call, and memories sweeter than championship gelato. Cheers to you!
