I love this, Lee, partly bc I too am an avid tennis fan (and I loved Chris English’s story since he’s from my original hometown of Atlanta), but especially bc I believe that faith displayed in stories of suffering are fascinating.

Have you ever watched Andre Agassi’s Hall of Fame speech? The way he relates tennis to real life is stunningly beautiful.

I have not, but someone else recently mentioned his autobiography to me. I’ll check out the speech and try to get to the autobiography soon.

Oh man, now you've got me going down a rabbit trail. His autobiography, Open, is amazing. He used J. R. Moehringer to write the book for him. Moehringer wrote one of my favorite memoirs (The Tender Bar). Such a great writer.
