Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on October 11, 1939)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Maria Bueno! With nineteen major titles in just eleven years, your tennis career was faster than a Brazilian samba and more graceful than Rio's carnival dancers. Your opponents probably still have nightmares about those unstoppable volleys!

From Wimbledon grass courts to US Open victories, you've aced every challenge with style and charm. Today we celebrate not only your incredible achievements but also how effortlessly you made winning look easy—though we're pretty sure it wasn't as simple as you made us believe.

Wishing you endless joy today; may life continue serving up happiness for many birthdays ahead!
