The Philadelphia (Philly) chapter of the College Tennis Alumni Network held its first ever event, “Happy Hour x Penn Tennis,” on April 20th, 2024. This event included a noontime happy hour at The Post, an arcade-style sports bar in West Philadelphia, after which everyone walked over to the Hamlin/Hecht Tennis Center to watch Penn Women’s Tennis take on Harvard in their penultimate Ivy League match.

The event’s attendees included many former collegiate players from a variety of schools including Harvard, Dartmouth, Brown, and Penn itself. The match was very exciting, as Penn upset #38-ranked Harvard 4-2, bringing Penn’s stunning undefeated home record to 10-0 on the season.

“It was great to bring together so many college tennis alums, many of whom were in the same conference and used to compete against one another – and what better way to do it than over drinks and watching tennis! We look forward to growing the Philly CTAN network and getting more alums involved. Stay tuned for future events!”
