JP Morgan Chase Captures Metro Corporate League Advanced Division Championship
Bloomberg wins Advanced Intermediate, while BNP Paribas captures Intermediate division
At the end of every season in the Metro Corporate League, players from all teams are invited to Roosevelt Island Racquet Club in Manhattan for the end-of-season party and finals. Held over the course of two nights, the top two teams in each of the three competitive divisions battled it out for the league championships. Players from the other teams gather to watch, and enjoy delicious food and drinks, putting a perfect end to another league season.
The Metro Corporate League is comprised four different total divisions: Intermediate, Advanced Intermediate, Advanced and the Hi-Five. The latter is a fun division designed more for fun, recreational play, where the former three are more competitive-based.
“I think the competition is strong, it reminds me a lot of my college tennis days. It’s awesome to have a league where people in corporate jobs can still play at a high level. I don’t think there’s anything else like it in the City, and it’s a great way for former college players to stay in the game,” said Diana Tkachenko.
Tkachenko is the captain of the J.P. Morgan Chase team, and she led her team to the title in the Advanced Division championship. J.P. Morgan Chase defeated Credit Agricole in the finals, and as a result, the large league trophy will reside at the JP Morgan offices until the end of next season.
“Facing Credit Agricole in the finals was tough–they’d beaten us and we’d tied with them earlier in the season, so I knew it would be a close match,” Tkachenko added. “I didn’t actually expect us to pull off the win, but everyone brought their best when it mattered most.”
The team matchups consist of six one-set flights (one women’s singles, one men’s singles, one women’s doubles, one men’s doubles and two mixed doubles) with the winning team being determined by the total games won across all flights.
“Our success came down to having a solid group of players who always showed up ready to give it their all,” said Tkachenko. “Even in the finals, when we only had one regular team member on the men’s side, and two players who stepped in at the very last minute without hesitation. Everyone gave it their best, and it really shows how committed people at JP Morgan Chase are, even outside of work.”
The team that will be moving up to the Advanced Division for the Winter 2026 season is Bloomberg (Brian), who defeated J.P. Morgan to capture the Advanced Intermediate title.
In the Intermediate Division, BNP Paribas secured the title with a victory over Bloomberg (Ossie), and will move into the Advanced Intermediate Division this coming season.
The Winter 2026 season in the Metro Corporate League runs through May. Please visit Metrotennis.com to learn more, or contact Luis Espinoza at (347) 886-3117 or luis@metrotennis.com.
