Shahar Peer wins last match at US open

And what a match it was! What a battle.

But why do I comment here?

I was struck by how pro Peer the crowd was and how pro-Israel the commentators were. On all levels it was a very warm embrace.

The crowd began singing Hava nagilah and one commenter wished her “Mazel Tov”.

I take none of this for granted in an international arena.
