TENNIS

I was watching the French Open tennis championship a couple of weeks ago and caught sight of something that struck a cord with me.  I'll share it with you.

Carlos Alcaraz defeated Alexander Zverev in 5 sets in the finals.  The match lasted 4 hours and 19 minutes - which is a long time to consistently play championship level tennis.  Very exciting!

The match was at Stade Roland-Garros in Paris which was named for a famous World War I fighter pilot.  Emblazoned in large letters on the facade of the grandstand at Court Philippe Chatrier (the main court) was the following English maxim:

"VICTORY BELONGS TO THE MOST TENACIOUS"

Amen!
