The 2021 Corley Cup was held October 7th-10th at Highpoint Sports & Wellness, with many NM high school varsity players participating. This was the second year of the event, which was begun in 2020 by the two older Corley sisters, Ivana and Carmen Corley, to provide an opportunity for play for NM high school tennis players affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Both years the event has provided support to multiple charities, including the NM Youth Tennis Foundation (NMYTF). The NMYTF received a $7,000 donation from each year of the event, which has been supported by many area sponsors.
Following are the 2021 results. Seedings are provided in parentheses.

Because there was not a USTA Southwest Section Awards & Hall of Fame Ceremony in 2020, both the 2020 Corley Cup & the 2021 Corley Cup were considered in determining this year’s event winner. Congratulations to the Corley Cup for being selected for this well deserved honor!
