We would like to welcome Lend Lease to our corporate team roster as they join us for the first time. The 2012 Fall Season runs through early December, culminating with an end-of-season party at Roosevelt Island Racquet Club. While we are excited that the Fall Season is underway and look forward to another great season, we are elated to announce that one of our corporate teams whom won the Intermediate Division Championship during the Fall 2011 season were invited to play at the World TeamTennis (WTT) National Corporate League Championship in Charleston, S.C. This is the first time that the Metro Corporate Tennis League has sent one of our teams to compete at the national level.

The Deloitte Aces not only competed in the WTT Corporate Nationals, but took home the trophy! The Deloitte Aces competed in matches twice a day to establish their seeding for the championships. They won the semifinal to then play against the reigning, defending champions, Boston Scientific from Minnesota. We would like to take the opportunity to congratulate the Deloitte Aces and their team captain, Denise Shapiro, for their efforts and success at the WTT National Corporate League Championships. We would also like to congratulate Summer 2012 Intermediate Division Champions, Thomson Reuters, and Advanced Division Champs, Ernst & Young, on their success.
