Martina Hingis, multiple Grand Slam champion in singles and doubles, who amassed over 100 trophies on the tour, and already in the sports Hall Of Fame, turns 40 years old today. Along with her achievements, she played an invitational tournament in Liverpool in 2008. Having retired from the sport for the third and final time in 2017, she is now lives a quiet family life largely out of the public eye.
When I have my own birthday, we're usually on the pre-season circuit, and when I turned 40, the big event of the night was watching us win 4-1 against the mancs in a friendly. So it went well. Obviously when someone turns 40, people have a certain image of what lifestyle you should have and how you should live it. So if are 40+, was your life everything you expected it to be or radically different? Did you become more mature, or just think "50 will be here before I know it?"
