Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on July 19, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Ilie Nastase! The original tennis rockstar whose legendary antics on court were as entertaining as your powerful backhand. From dazzling crowds at Roland Garros and the US Open to becoming the first-ever ATP World No. 1, you've always served up unforgettable moments—often with a mischievous grin.

Even today, your charisma remains unmatched; you're still acing life off-court with style and humor that never goes out of fashion. May this birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and perhaps fewer arguments with umpires! Keep swinging for the fences (or baseline), Ilie—we're forever fans of your timeless charm.
