The new Pope of the Catholic Church, León XIV, has acknowledged on numerous occasions, before becoming Pope, that tennis is one of his passions. Therefore, in his first meeting with the media covering the Conclave, a journalist asked him about playing a charity match, to which León XIV agreed. The same journalist added: "I'll bring Andre Agassi," to which the Pope replied: "We'll play, as long as you don't bring Sinner". This elicited laughter from those present.
