Do you want to play a little?

Salvator Cinosio – Vatican City

“The ball here. If you want to play for a while …” but here we cut something! ” Better no. In small classrooms, there was no exchange of relapses, but from jokes, as well as gifts (among them, a copy of its white and black rackets) between Jannik Sinner and Pope Leo XIV, who received this morning the tennis hero in the Vatican.

A brief moment of greeting and conversation with the first world of tennis – which is at risk in Rome International – who said he was “very proud” to interview at noon who never hidden his passion for this sport. His parents, Hanspeter and Siglde, also attended the Italian Federation of Tennis and Bayod, Angelo Pingy, who gave the Pope an individual card with his name.

Pope is enlightened by international competition in Rome

Leo XIV was very interested and reported the match that is played these days in the oblique forum, where the sinner reached the quarter -finals. “How do you see yourself in Rome?” The athlete asked the young man. Now we are in the game. At the beginning of the tournament, it was a little difficult, but now, with three games, we have taken. “courage!” The Pope answered by asking the parents about the language they speak at home, Italian or German.

Jokes and laughter

There were many jokes and laughter during the game, especially when Sinner took his strike to give it to the Pope. The Pope quickly replied: “They allowed me to play in Wimbledon.” It is strange that today’s fans coincide with the fact that less than two days ago, the Pope appointed the wrong to the public with representatives of the international press. A journalist for the Pope suggested a useful tennis party, assuring him that “I will take Agasi.” He replied, “A good idea, as long as you do not bring the wrong.” A joke indicates the fear of challenging the great hero in South Tirol.

“The True Pope of Tennis”

“We have found an authentic tennis, an emotional tennis player, a playing player, and a tennis player, especially aware of what is happening here in the international BNL D’ATALIA championship in Rome. It was a pleasant surprise.” He says that the Pope “He congratulated Janek repeatedly and all our children and girls on the message they convey, especially outside the countryside, with their simplicity and respect for the competitors. It is a message of solidarity, inclusion, friendship; They are authentic peace holders, and I think this is also the most important for us.

The parties in Peru and training in Rome

Perhaps this message, as Pope Prevost, a fan of the Chicago White Sox team for the baseball, has always been to tennis as its favorite sport. He announced this in an interview two years ago, on the occasion of his appointment as Cardinal, to Augustine order He said that the official website of the San Agostin order from which Divioca comes from: “I consider myself amateurs,” but since he left Peru, his land where he practiced his missionary service about twenty years ago, “I have had the few opportunities to play tennis, so I look forward to returning to court. job I haven’t left me much free of time, so far. ”

In Chicolay, the Peruvian diocese, which was bishop, formed a Preriest with some priests, including the current Secretary, Edgar Rimokonda Ina, so that he does not lose a “good setback”, as those who met him remember. In Rome, it happened from time to time that the Cardinal at the time played on Sundays at the tennis stadium at the Augustine Burtestic Institute, two steps from the Vatican, overlooking the dome of San Pedro.

The same sinner expressed his opinion on the Pope’s passion at the press conference after his victory in the sixteenth Roma Championship against Jesus Jong: “I heard that I played as a child and the tennis players are great to know that the Pope loves our sport.”
