If you ever wondered what it was like to watch the Roman Empire sport of gladiator fighting back in 105 BC to 404 AD? Well, you need not look much further than today’s sport of tennis, especially at the US Open in New York this year. And, if you think our younger generation is doomed, there is still hope. See Coco Gauff at age 19-years-old winning one of the most prestigious Grand Slam events in the world and offering her prayers to God in front of millions of viewers. What I found most inspirational is that she said, “I don’t pray for results. I just ask that I get the strength to give it my all. Whatever happens, happens. I’m so blessed in this life,” said Gauff, who, at 19, is the youngest American woman to win the U.S. Open since Serena Williams in 1999.
This is the inspirational message that the Tennis Club of SaddleBrooke released to all members of the Community Church of SaddleBrooke, held at the DesertView Theatre. During the service, displayed on the big screen was a picture of Coco Gauff, an American professional tennis player, praying just before a game. The morning sermon was about prayer.
