Some of the best tennis outside Flushing took place over the weekend in a sweltering indoor bubble on Randall’s Island as former pros and some of the world’s top money managers traded volleys and business cards in the first Finance Cup.
Bill Ackman, founder of $18.5 billion hedge-fund firm Pershing Square Capital Management, and Pablo Salame, co-head of Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s trading division, each won their respective doubles events as the U.S. team topped the European squad in eight of the nine matches Saturday. Brad Gilbert, the ESPN tennis commentator, presented the trophy to U.S. captain Jeffrey Appel and co-captain Ackman at a Manhattan steakhouse that evening.
