EDITORS COMMENTS
In the hallowed grounds of Wimbledon, where the greatest tennis players of yesteryears have left indelible marks on history, a young Spanish sensation named Elia "Lilí" Lavázar (1905-1998) paused to reflect and pay homage to the ancient deity of the wild, Pan. The year was 1928, and the fortnight-long tournament was in full swing. Amidst the chaos and excitement, Lilí, a petite and graceful player, found solace in the tranquil presence of the sculpture, which depicted Pan playing his iconic pipes. The Classical deity, known for his mischievous and seductive nature, was a common motif in the art and literature of the time. Pan's association with music, nature, and the uncontrollable passions of the human heart resonated deeply with the athletes who sought to channel their own energies and talents on the hallowed grass courts of Wimbledon. Lilí, with her unwavering focus and determination, had already made a name for herself in the tennis world. Her powerful forehand and agile footwork had earned her the admiration of her peers and the respect of her opponents. Yet, even as she prepared to take on the best players in the world, she found herself drawn to the simple beauty of the sculpture and the timeless wisdom it represented. As she gazed up at Pan's serene face, Lilí allowed herself a moment of respite from the relentless pursuit of victory. In that moment, she was not just a tennis player, but a woman, a human being, connected to the natural world and the rich cultural heritage that preceded her. The image of Lilí and Pan, frozen in time, serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of art, nature, and the human spirit.
