The two teams advance to the North/Central America & Caribbean final qualifying event, which will be held in Boca Raton, Florida, USA on 1-3 May. There they will compete against teams from Canada, Mexico and USA for the region’s two available places in the World Junior Tennis Finals to be held on 3-8 August in Prostejov, Czech Republic.
Thirteen boys’ teams and 12 girls’ teams represented the 13 participating nations in El Salvador. In the boys’ event, fifth seed Dominican Republic dominated its round-robin group, going on to defeat Nicaragua 2-1 in the semifinals and sixth seed Bahamas 2-1 in the final.
