The draw has been made for the 2025 ITF World Tennis Tour Junior Finals – the junior equivalent of the ATP and WTA Finals.

The eight boys and eight girls who have qualified for the Finals in Chengdu, China have been drawn into two respective groups of four. The top two in each group will advance to the semi-finals following three days of round-robin action.

Play at the ITF World Tennis Tour Junior Finals, which are both a celebration of junior excellence and a proven step towards the elite professional game, gets underway on Wednesday and there will be live streams available. Watch here.

The 2025 champions will earn 1000 ranking points - equivalent to what is on offer at a Junior Grand Slam - which could make a significant difference in a player’s quest to finish 2025 as the year-end No. 1.

Players will also benefit from travel grants to support their future progression to professional tennis. A record $220,000 USD will be paid out this year in travel grants, with the 2025 winners receiving up to $23,000, with the grants then staggered through to those finishing in eighth place.

The ITF Junior Finals are an esteemed event and far more than a tennis tournament. Players are immersed in Chinese culture and participate in activities away from the court, with the event showcasing to players what life as a pro is like. Those activities are underway.
 
Past participants have always spoken about the ITF Junior Finals in the highest possible terms. Furthermore, since the first edition in 2015, the Finals have featured four future Grand Slam champions, a host of future Top 10s, soon-to-be Olympic gold medallists and scores of fantastic players.

The back catalogue of players to have competed at the ITF Junior Finals is highly impressive and reflects the significance to the tournament in respect of an individual’s development and its role within the ITF player pathway.
