Pope: Congratulations to Italy for Sinner's victory

During his reception today in the Vatican of a delegation from Real Tennis Barcelona, ​​on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the founding of the sports club, Pope Francis, “off the cuff” before continuing his thoughts, congratulated the Italians on the victory, yesterday, in the Australian Open, by Jannik Sinner. According to the Vatican News website.

Life lessons can also be drawn from tennis, the Pontiff said, stressing in his Spanish-language address that sport provides opportunities for “the growth of every person and society.” Francesco stressed that in tennis, which is an individual or doubles sport and not a team sport, “the challenge between players seems to be related above all to the desire to overcome the opponent,” but “in reality, since its English origin,” it is an expression of the founders’ openness to The good that can come from outside and from dialogue with other cultures.”

“In tennis, as in life, we can't always win But it will be an enriching challenge if we learn, by playing politely and according to the rules, that it is not a fight but a dialogue that includes our efforts and allows us to improve, he stated. Sports are depicted a bit not only as combat but also as dialogue. There is a dialogue that, in the case of tennis, often becomes artistic.” For the Supreme Pontiff, it is an education that must be thought of more broadly, looking within oneself. “On the court, as in existence, we sometimes feel alone, at other times supported by those Who play this game of life with us – as he noted -. But, even when we play “individually,” we are always in the presence of the Lord who teaches us the meaning of respect, understanding, and the need for constant communication with others.

Finally, the Pope recommended that human and spiritual development be taken into account first and foremost when working with children in the field of sports, “who dream of a sporting future with excellence,” because “sport must help in this,” and stressed that “training needs and cannot be overcome.” on its integrated growth. Hence the call to nurture young people, those who “can harness the values ​​of sport in complex social environments” as well as those who can succeed in high-level competitions.
