Tennis Anyone?

Saturday was off to a beautiful start, with a request from a young boy who never asks for anything.
"May I please get a new tennis racquet today? "
"One that I pick out all by myself?"

This request was enormous because it represented a new level of independence, empowerment and passion for a sport that up until Saturday seemed as though it was just a fun thing to do during the summer.

We stopped by the International Tennis Hall of Fame a few doors away from our Lila Delman Real Estate office and picked out a nice new red racquet and learned that The Champions Cup was about to start.

The next request, "Can we stay and watch the match?" made me realize that my budding young tennis player was really interested not only in his new racquet, but in learning the game by watching the champions of the sport play on center court.

When you live in Newport to experience the unusual is usual.

Being there to witness the stuff dreams are made of is a beautiful thing, and any encouragement along the way stays with you for life.

When John McEnroe stopped and said hello that was a kind gesture, which will leave a lasting impression.
