On December 30, 2023, Christopher Morley Tennis (“CMT”) hosted it’s First Annual Ethan Falkowitz “Believe In Yourself” Tennis Classic and the turn out was incredible! For years, Ethan spent many hours a week at CMT, training with one of his tennis coaches and mentors, Salomon Levy, who always affectionally referred to Ethan as “the Champion.” And a Champion, Ethan was – not only on the tennis courts, but in life.

The “Believe In Yourself” Tennis Classic was a tremendous success, with over 100 competitors of all levels, ages 7-18, participating. People from near and far came to play tennis, for sport and for fun, just the way Ethan would have wanted.

“Believe In Yourself” was the mantra for this tournament in honor of a special 14 year old, who truly believed that he could accomplish anything, regardless of how challenging it might be. Ethan played the highest level of tennis, took the hardest classes in Middle School, and juggled dozens of responsibilities, all with a smile and gratitude. He was truly a role model for all.

The tournament was a huge success, filled with love, smiles and lots of tennis!

A big “THANK YOU” to CMT, the coaches who helped to organize this special day and everyone who participated or came out to show their support. From the bottom of our broken hearts, it was deeply appreciated!
