Pope Leo XIV has embraced tennis as a vital part of his routine, reflecting his commitment to the Augustinian principles of physical activity and spirituality. His passion for the sport was publicly acknowledged during an audience with top-ranked player Jannik Sinner. The Pope dedicates time each week to play tennis, which he views as a way to cultivate good habits in line with the Rule of St. Augustine. Rev. Rob Hagan, Prior of the Augustinian Province of St. Thomas of Villanova, emphasizes that the Pope's involvement in sports promotes values of fraternity and personal growth. In a recent video message, Pope Leo advocated for sports as a means of fostering dialogue and peace among cultures. His active lifestyle includes tennis, swimming, and horseback riding at the papal retreat in Castel Gandolfo. The physical demands of tennis not only provide exercise but also enhance his mental discipline, crucial for managing his extensive duties, which include presiding over large prayer services and international travel. Through his engagement with tennis, Pope Leo is inspiring a renewed interest in Augustinian values.
