Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on July 19, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Xavier Malisse! You're the only tennis player who could make a racket toss look like an art form. From your unforgettable Wimbledon semifinal run in 2002 to clinching doubles glory at Roland Garros in 2004, you've always served up excitement and style on court.

Even though opponents feared your powerful forehand, fans adored you for that laid-back charm and effortless flair. May this birthday bring as much joy as those epic matches did—minus any questionable line calls or broken strings! Here's hoping life continues to ace every expectation just like you did throughout your fantastic career.
