ITF World Tennis Tour Juniors to kick off in Nansha

From Jan 12 to 19, the 2025 ITF World Tennis Tour Juniors Guangzhou Nansha will unfold at the Nansha International Tennis Center.

From July 28 to Aug 4, 2014, Nansha hosted its first ITF World Tennis Tour Juniors event, completing the trio of ATP, WTA, and ITF tournaments under its belt. This positions Nansha as an increasingly pivotal player in the Chinese and global tennis landscape.

This tournament is classified as J60, open to young players aged 13-18. It features four categories: boys' singles, boys' doubles, girls' singles, and girls' doubles, with champions earning 60 ITF Junior points.

Drawing participants from over 10 countries and regions, including China, Japan, South Korea, Chile, Thailand, Australia, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taipei, nearly 300 players have signed up for this edition, marking a nearly 50 percent increase from last year.

With a strong lineup of competitors, last year's runner-up in the women's singles and doubles champion, Luo Xi, is set to lead the pack. Nansha Tennis sets the stage for an exciting start to the new year, anticipating more thrilling matches and the rise of new stars.
