Hundreds of tennis players and guests have been enjoying our courts and beautiful grounds during these first few days of the Filipek Tennis Tournament.

   

The tournament raises money for college scholarships and to support our local communities and has donated over $100,000 during its 11 years.

   

It’s great to see so many CVC members playing in the tournament, as well as visitors from throughout the state and beyond.

Come out and see some great tennis. The tournament continues through Championship Sunday on June 11.

Championship Sunday at the Filipek Tennis Tournament at Copper Valley Club featured stunning tennis matches, friendly crowds of spectators, and gorgeous weather. 

Over the years, the tournament has donated over $130,000 to college scholarships and community organizations. CVC is proud to be a part of this event and host the tournament for the third consecutive year on its clay courts and shady grounds.

This year, CVC members won two of the championship matches, with Abby Murphy winning Junior Girls Singles and Angela Heidgerd winning Women C Singles.

Congratulations to the champions and to all the participants, as well as the Filipek committee and this year’s scholarship winners.

Congratulations to the champions and finalists in the 2015 Filipek Tennis Tournament. Copper Valley Club was proud to host for the second year, and it was thrilling to see great matches and crowds of tennis fans from throughout the region cheering on the players.

Now in its 11th year, the Filipek has given over $100,000 in scholarships to Connecticut student athletes.

See below for a short video of what was perhaps the crowd’s favorite match, as well as results from throughout the tournament.

There were many fantastic matches throughout the tournament. The Men C Singles final, though, was perhaps the one that caused the most crowd reaction. It had started at 8 a.m., and by the time the players were nearing the end of a third set tiebreaker at 11 a.m., quite a crowd had gathered to cheer on the players.

Congratulations to all the players and to the Filipek Tennis Tournament.
