Battle of the Boroughs ends with victory for Manhattan team
On Saturday, July 12, USTA Eastern and City Parks Foundation teamed up to present the Finals of the Battle of the Boroughs Tennis Challenge, an adult recreational tournament held in parks across New York City.
Beginning in May, the tournament featured teams of six to eight players competing within their borough, with the top team from each borough advancing to the July 12 championship.
The Frederick Johnson Playground Team for Manhattan, the Prospect Park Team for Brooklyn, the Astoria Park Team for Queens, the Crotona Park Team for the Bronx, and the Silver Lake Park Team from Staten Island battled it out for the Championship Cup at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows. The Frederick Johnson Playground Team had close matches throughout the day but ultimately pulled out victory.
