It’s Jannik Sinner’s birthday: here’s who he’ll be celebrating with

On August 16, Jannik Sinner turns 25. Last year, he celebrated in Cincinnati, where he also received a special gift from Terence Atmane. This year, however, he’ll celebrate with his loved ones in a private setting before heading to the United States to compete in the U.S. Open—the season’s final Grand Slam and a major late-summer goal for the Italian star.

The world No. 1 in tennis isn’t the only star celebrating his birthday the day after Ferragosto. The South Tyrolean is in excellent company. On August 16, 1958, Madonna—one of the world’s best-known and most beloved musical artists—was born. She isn’t the only one. James Cameron, director of absolute masterpieces such as *Terminator*, *Titanic*, and the *Avatar* trilogy, also blows out the candles on August 16 (age 72).

Staying in the world of cinema, happy birthday also to Steve Carell, who turns 64. The American actor and comedian has starred in many hit films, such as the hugely popular *The 40-Year-Old Virgin*. Angela Bassett, who was recently seen in several superhero movies, including *Avengers: Endgame*, shares the same birthdate as Madonna. Staying in Italy, actor Rocco Papaleo turns 68.

In the world of sports, in addition to Jannik Sinner, it’s also a day of birthday wishes for Kalusha Bwalya, the greatest Zambian soccer player of all time, who turns 63 on August 16. Meanwhile, former Paraguayan soccer star Roque Santa Cruz, who played for Bayern Munich for many years, turns 45. Happy birthday also to Italian sprinter Filippo Dezza, a standout at the European Athletics Championships (born in 2005).
