"He has been playing tennis for more than 32 hours, that's an amazing feet of endurance," said Garla
“I am exhausted,” Lacorte, a French citizen, said with a smile after completing the challenge that began at 7am on Saturday. But fatigue didn’t stop him from participating in an additional short exhibition match against former world number 9 Paradorn Srichaphan right after setting the new world record.
Marie-Christine Lee, the Sports for Hope Foundation’s founder, said she was touched by Lacorte’s effort to help a good cause. “Jerome showed his superb determination,” said Lee, who was Lacorte’s second-to-last opponent in the challenge.
“He has been playing tennis for more than 32 hours, that’s an amazing feet of endurance,” said Garland. “I wasn’t 100 per cent certain that he would make it. His body and mind have got to keep going for that amount of time. That’s difficult.”
Colin Yam Kwan-ho, travel tourism 17, said he helped as ball boy from 8am to 8pm on each day. “When I came back this morning [Sunday], I found that Lacorte was playing with the same rhythm like yesterday morning. I wouldn’t say it was unbelievable as he must have confidence to achieve travel tourism the record, but still, it was wonderful,” said Yam.
