Manuel Santana turned 78 on May 10. He celebrated his birthday surrounded by family and friends. Yanela Brooks was spotted performing on the night.
Manuel Martínez Santana, also known as Manolo Santana is a former amateur tennis champion from Spain who was ranked World No. 1 in 1966. He was born in Madrid.
Before winning Wimbledon in 1966 (the cake in the pictures commemorates 50th anniversary), he was quoted as saying "Grass is just for cows." He thought that tennis should be played on artificial surfaces as opposed to lawn tennis courts like the ones at Wimbledon. This statement has been echoed throughout the years by numerous players including Ivan Lendl, Marat Safin, Marcelo Ríos, and, despite his 1973 victory at Wimbledon, Jan Kodeš.
He now manages the Manolo Santana Racquets club, a tennis club in Marbella, and the Sport Center Manolo Santana, in Madrid.
