Happy birthday to tennis player Justin Henine who turns 33, Real Madrid striker Javier Hernandez who has become 27 and retired 4x400m athlete Olga Nazarova who has reached half a century (50). 

Henin had a remarkable career that saw her claim 47 titles as well as seven grand slams despite retiring twice in 2008 and 2011. The ex-player earned rave reviews including John McEnroe and Billie King.
