Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on December 27, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Gilles Simon! May your day be filled with more joy than the number of baseline rallies you've patiently endured. From climbing to an impressive World No. 7 ranking back in November 2008, to outsmarting opponents with your strategic brilliance on court, you've always kept us entertained and guessing.

Your matches are legendary—not just for the victories but also for those marathon points that left everyone breathless (and probably exhausted just watching!). Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much happiness as your unforgettable wins and epic battles have brought tennis fans worldwide. Cheers to another year of clever tactics and endless stamina!
