Winter 2023 Corporate League Season Comes to a Close
The holiday season brought with it the end-of-the-year finals for the Winter 2023 Metro Corporate League. The top teams from each of the league’s divisions gathered at Roosevelt Island Racquet Club to battle it out for league supremacy, and celebrate another successful season in the Corporate League.
Featuring a spread of catered food and open bar, the parties featured not only the teams competing in the championship, but was also open to all members of the league which created a fun night for all who attended.
While enjoying the food and drinks, spectators were treated to some outstanding tennis on the clay courts of Roosevelt Island, the perfect way for both the spectators and players to wrap up the season.
“We always have a lot of fun competing in the Corporate League, Neuberger Berman has been participating in this league for quite some time and we get to play against strong players, including former college athletes, while improving our own game and forming new tennis relationships,” said Fleura Shiyanova. “In addition, the event helps us meet and bond with colleagues from across firm and meet other industry participants which makes it even more fun.”
Shiyanova is the captain of the Neuberger Berman team, and on this night, her and her team captured the Advanced Intermediate title.
“The key to our success was teamwork and our athletes’ commitment to winning another title,” added Shiyanova. “Our team has a good mix of players who are solid at the baseline as well as players who are active at the net, and that combination helped us perform well in both singles and doubles.”
As a result of their title win, Neuberger Berman moves up to the Advanced Division next season.
In the Advanced Division championship this season, Bloomberg once again captured the title as it continued its dominance in the league.
In the Intermediate Division, HSBC took home the title, and it will move into the Advanced Intermediate Division for the Winter 2024 season.
