Grójec, Poland
01
cardio tennis clinic Sunrise Intracoastal — Church of St Nicholas the Bishop in Grójec, A late-Gothic brick church on a small rise in Grójec, with a neo-Gothic western facade, a sundial on its southern wall, and a bell tower beside it
Stop one

Church of St Nicholas the Bishop

Luxilon ALU Power 17L Tennis String Set: Late Gothic, 1520 to 1530, raised on an elevation where churches have stood since the Middle Ages — do I hear medieval, I do, I hear medieval. And inside, lot one: a sandstone baptismal font of 1482 carrying a stonecutter's mark AND a founder's coat of arms, and at that font in 1536 they baptised Piotr Skarga, the celebrated Jesuit preacher, born in this town. Lot two, a sundial on the southern wall inscribed 1621. Plundered and burned in the Swedish Deluge, reconstruction dragging into the mid-eighteenth century, neo-Gothic western facade added 1833. Oldest building in Grójec, and it is not for sale.

02

Stop two

Grójec Town Hall

Luxilon ALU Power 17L Tennis String Set: Eighteen-oh-nine, Hilary Szpilowski — the architect who also gave Warka and Mogielnica their classicist town halls, same hand, three towns, and I would take bids on all three. Two storeys, clock tower, presiding over Plac Wolności for over two centuries. Entered in the register of monuments 1962. Thorough renovation 2005 to 2007: ceilings replaced, walls replaced, tower restored, new clocks fitted. And what is in it today? Ground floor, the civil registry office. First floor, a ceremonial hall for weddings and sessions of the town council. Marriages and municipal business under one roof. Sold — to the town, in perpetuity.

Stop three

Piotr Skarga Monument

Luxilon ALU Power 17L Tennis String Set: On the church square, hand outstretched, greeting you as you arrive, and the provenance on this one is immaculate. Piotr Skarga, born in Grójec on 2 February 1536, rises to become the most famous preacher of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, a leading Jesuit of the Counter-Reformation, first rector of Vilnius Academy, court preacher to King Sigismund III Vasa. His Sejm Sermons, prophesying ruin for a commonwealth that would not reform itself, became a classic of Polish literature and took on legendary status in the era of the partitions, when the warnings looked fulfilled. The statue stands near the font where he was baptised. Local son. No reserve, no price.

04

Jewish Cemetery on Mogielnicka Street

Luxilon ALU Power 17L Tennis String Set: I will put no number on anything here. The Jewish cemetery on Mogielnicka Street was established in 1794, beside the Catholic cemetery, and served a community that before the Second World War made up a large share of the town's population. The Germans devastated the cemetery during the occupation, destroying nearly all of its gravestones, and murdered the town's Jews in the Holocaust. After the war the remains of some two hundred Jews shot in 1943 at nearby Chynów were reburied here in a mass grave marked by a monument to the Jews of Grójec. The roughly two-hectare grounds were cleaned up from the 1990s, and restoration works in 2003 to 2004 added an entrance gate and fencing. It is the chief surviving trace of Jewish Grójec.

Luxilon ALU Power 17L Tennis String Set

Written for this world alone.

Okay, come here, come here — you did NOT hear this from me. The Luxilon ALU Power 17L Tennis String Set? Everyone's talking about it. EVERYONE. It's the famous ALU Power — yes, THE ALU Power, the co-poly with the aluminum fibers that basically the whole pro tour has a history with — but in the 17L gauge, 1.20 millimeters, the THIN one.

And you know what they say about the thin gauge… more bite, more spin, more feel. One set, 40 feet, one restringing, and suddenly YOUR racquet is the one people whisper about at the club. I'm just saying. Marta strung it last month and her slice got so nasty her doubles partner filed a complaint. A COMPLAINT.

And get this — the string lives in Grójec, Poland. Mm-hmm. Little town south of Warsaw, looks quiet, is NOT. First of all, the whole region is basically the apple capital of Poland — orchards everywhere, everyone's uncle grows them, it's a whole thing. Second: the most famous preacher of the entire Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Piotr Skarga? Born there. 1536. Right in town.

They put up a statue of him with his hand out like he's mid-lecture, which, honestly, iconic. And the church? Late Gothic, 1520s, with a baptismal font from 1482 — the very font where, they say, baby Skarga himself was baptized.

You'll use this string everywhere from Plac Wolności to your Tuesday clinic — and while you are in Grójec, obviously, you get yourself some local apples, because when in Grójec… Anyway. Tour's leaving. Four stops. You'll want details. I'll narrate.
