Finance Cup appel

Europe's Christer Gardell (L) and the Cup's founder Jeffrey Appel.

Last weekend was a huge deal for tennis - and not just because Andy Murray won a second Wimbledon title.

The second Finance Cup, an intense battle between the best tennis players on Wall Street (USA) and the City of London (Europe), took place on Saturday in London.

It was organised by Jeffrey Appel - known as the Mayor of New York Tennis - and David Anving, who got in touch with Appel after reading a Business Insider profile on tennis in the finance sector.

They managed to bring together some of the biggest names in finance who share a love of the game. Billionaire Christer Gardell, the founder and CIO of Europe's Largest Activist investor Cevian Fund, takes part in the tournament and Pershing Square Capital billionaire Bill Ackman is Wall Street's co-captain.

Europe was looking for revenge after its loss in New York last year, but Wall Street was not going down without a fight.
