The teams that will compete at the 2024 ITF World Junior Tennis Finals in Prostejov, Czechia have been announced. A total of 32 teams spanning 25 nations will battle to be crowned world champions from 5-10 August.

Following qualifying events across five global regions, 16 boys’ and 16 girls’ teams have secured their places at the Finals, giving themselves the opportunity to be named the world’s best in the 14-and-under age category.

That is what is at stake during a true festival of junior tennis, with players from around the world wearing their national team colours with pride, just as pros do in Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge and Davis Cup – the World Cups of Tennis.  

When the players take to the clay courts of Prostejov, they will be in excellent company and will follow in the footsteps of some lofty and esteemed competitors. Just look at the names of some of the players to have contested the ITF World Junior Tennis Finals in years gone by.

Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek, Andy Roddick, Coco Gauff, Bianca Andreescu, Katerina Siniakova, Juan Martin del Potro, Kei Nishikori, Marketa Vondrousova, Alex de Minaur, Ash Barty, Felix Auger Aliassime and Frances Tiafoe!

It is also a very special year for Tenisovy Klub Prostejov with this being the 25th year they have hosted the ITF World Tennis Tour Junior Finals, having first hosted in 1999 after the competition moved from Japan.
