Recently, tennis players’ birthdays have made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Just a few days ago, the Madrid Open organizers landed themselves in a controversy. The organizers went overboard with their celebrations for home favorite and eventual champion, Carlos Alcaraz. On the same day, women’s champion Aryna Sabalenka was treated to a modest birthday celebration. However, the controversy did not end there. The young American tennis player Coco Gauff, who reached the tournament’s double finals, pointed out a huge misconduct by the organizers. She brought attention to how the players were not allowed to speak up during the trophy ceremony.

The Brit, who turned thirty-six years recently, has made a tongue-in-cheek comment about wanting an extravagant celebration similar to that of Alcaraz. Murray took to Twitter to express his demand for a birthday cake.
