Excitement is building as the countdown to the Davis Cup Juniors and Billie Jean King Cup Juniors by BNP Paribas Finals in Antalya, Türkiye continues. There is just one week to go before the junior team extravaganza gets underway on 1 November.
The Davis Cup Juniors and Billie Jean King Cup Juniors Finals kickstart the ITF’s November to Remember when team competition takes centre stage. The ITF Beach Tennis World Cup, Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge Finals and Davis Cup by Rakuten Final 8 all follow in November.
The Davis Cup Juniors and Billie Jean King Cup Juniors Finals are flagship ITF team competitions for players aged 16-and-under, with regional qualification taking place throughout the year. In Antalya, 16 boys’ and 16 girls’ teams will battle to be crowned world champions.
The Finals are a major milestone along the ITF player pathway and the calibre of player to have competed – and indeed lifted silverware – there before embarking on a glorious professional career is staggering.
