2026 World Tennis 14&U Junior Team Finals: girls' teams announced
The players that will compete for their nations at the 2026 World Tennis 14&U Junior Team Finals, which will take place in Prostejov in Czechia from 3-8 August, are now known.
Previously the World Junior Tennis Finals, our international team competition for players aged 14-and-under has evolved into the World Tennis 14&U Junior Team Finals following the rebranding of the International Tennis Federation to World Tennis.
It is a tournament that reflects the World Tennis ethos: rackets in hands, playing opportunities and national player development, all part of a strong talent pathway.
For some, it will be their first taste of international competition, particularly in a team setting, and feeds into the World Tennis mission to provide opportunity all around the world.
Many of today’s top players have developed their skills at this event, going on to represent their nations at senior level, as well as starring at Grand Slams and on the ATP and WTA Tours.
The likes of Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Lorenzo Musetti, Elina Svitolina, Alex de Minaur and Mirra Andreeva are just a few to have competed at these Finals in recent years.
Another is Linda Noskova, who was recently crowned Wimbledon women’s singles champion.
Noskova represented Czechia at the 2018 Finals, which is a reminder of what can be achieved in a short space of time and how important this competition is for aspiring players.
