The eight boys and eight girls have been split into two groups of four, with the top two in each group advancing to the semi-finals following three days of round-robin matches. View the draw here.

The winner of each event will earn 850 ranking points, which could make a significant difference in the race to finish 2024 as the year-end No. 1 boy and girl. It is important to note that a higher ITF Junior year-end ranking will enable players to access higher-level professional tournament opportunities through the ITF Junior Accelerator Programme in 2025. 

Players will also benefit from travel grants to support their future progression to professional tennis. The 2024 winners will receive up to $19,000 USD, with grants staggered through to those in eighth position who will receive a minimum of $6,000 USD.

The ITF Junior Finals really is 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.
