It was very convenient to get here via the Métro 9 line where I got off at Porte de Saint-Cloud. From the station, it was just a short walk over to the stadium. The process of getting in was a very well streamlined process. Please note that while I was able to bring in a bottle of water, I had to throw away the cap. Finding my seat was very easy as there were signs posted everywhere. The place was rocking when France equalized at 3-3. Unfortunately, the host team eventually lost to Spain in extra time. This was a proper stadium to catch a football match!

La salle rime d'abord avec sports de combat. Grande salle de boxe dans les années 1950-60, elle accueille le Challenge Monal d'épée et le Challenge International de Paris de fleuret, tout comme elle s'impose comme un lieu important de la saison internationale de judo, karaté et taekwondo. Le tennis est également une discipline reine de la salle. Elle a d'ailleurs accueilli les "Championnats Professionnels de Coubertin", un des tout premiers tournois professionnels de l'histoire du tennis, avant d'être considérée comme le temple de ce sport dans les années 1960. C'est vers 1990 que le stade s'agrandit et devient une des places incontournables du sport collectif parisien. Le Paris Handball (PHB) s'y produit tout au long de l'année, et le PSG Racing Basket, y remporte même un titre en 1997.

It is 12:30 am here in Paris and we are jazzed, pumped, mesmerized and absolutely electrified by what transpired at the French Open here in Roland Garros. The world's two top ranked players, Sinner from Italy and Alcaraz from Spain played a record 329 minutes of breathtaking and heart pounding tennis. Sinner had the match and title won at 189 minutes with 3 match points, but the gritty 22 year old Spaniard ( May 5, 2003) exhibited a level of mental toughness, confidence, belief, knowingness, calm, tenacity, skills, stamina and endurance rarely seen before. Down by 2 sets, he fought back saving those 3 match points came back and won the last 3 sets and the Championship. Never has there been a spectacle like this at this venue in 126 years. An NFL Super Bowl Champ with the Rams and former NY Giant OBJ was next to us in the suite yelling, jumping and pumping his fist. 15,347 spectators were treated to an amazing spectacle. Just 29 hours prior another historic moment came when our very own Coco Gauff battled back from 1 set down and beat the cocky and overconfident Aryana Sabalenka to claim the Women's singles title. I state cocky and overconfident because of Sabalenka's comments and the identical outcome when American Madison Keys beat her in the Australian Open final Melbourne just 135 days ago. Ray Ray was right there as well with his team high fiving and screaming. This was special. This was a rare treat. First time in Roland Garros history where two finalists were born in the 21st century. The only tournament on clay( higher bounce, slower pace) with 7 rounds of best of 5 for the Men's Championship over 2 weeks makes this one of the most physically demanding. tournaments in tennis. This was a powerful emotional experience for me as well. I witnessed our human capacity for resilience, determination and the thrill of competition. The best part - 4 and 5 year olds in Japan, Vietnam, India, Afghanistan, Greece, Morocco, Kenya, Spain, Italy, France, the UK, Canada, the US, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Panama, Hawaii, Australia, Tahiti, New Zealand, the Philippines and all over just grabbed their little tennis racquets, the green ball and are practicing using that one wall in their compound and neighborhood. Our future! Roland Garros - another big reason why I do love Paris.
