Rome, 9 May (LaPresse) – ‘Will I invite the Pope to the Internazionali? I already did, I wrote to him yesterday. I don't know if he'll be able to come to this edition, it seems like a lot, but who knows: miracles happen in life.’ This was how Angelo Binaghi, president of the Italian Tennis Federation, commented to LaPresse on the new Pope's passion for tennis. ‘I knew that Pope Leo XIV was a great tennis fan, and we are very proud of that. We are also proud that our new FITP headquarters are located in a former Augustinian convent in Rome. We are renovating it. I would say that this is not just one coincidence, but two,’ he concluded.
