The 32nd Thalhimer Challenge was held September 18-21, 2025, and remains Richmond’s largest and most anticipated tennis event of the year which featured 396 doubles matches between the area’s largest 12 clubs over four days. Over 550 players and fans attended the Thursday night kickoff event, and nearly 1,000 rostered players battled it out across the fortnight.

While the tournament is a competition, what makes it special is the camaraderie between clubs and players. The RTA thanks Salisbury Country Club and Westwood Club for hosting the multi-location event and for all the sponsors, including Thalhimer as title sponsor. And a humble thank you to all the volunteer RTA board members, associated volunteers, and our Thalhimer Challenge Committee.

Congratulations to the Country Club of Virginia for winning this year’s title, which follows up on their 2024 victory! Congratulations also to all Hal Burrows Sportsmanship Award winners. We’re already looking forward to 2026!
