Wilson ITF J4 Junior Tennis Tournament

Watch rising international tennis champions compete on Christchurch courts!

Junior tennis champions from around the world compete in Christchurch's Wilding Park in an event organised by the International Tennis Federation (ITF).

The ITF World Tennis Tour Juniors gives players aged 18 and under the opportunity to travel the world and develop their talent.

Featuring over 650 tournaments in 140 countries, the Tour sees players compete across six levels of tournament – from Grade A (which includes the junior Grand Slams) through to Grades 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (the lowest grade). The ITF World Tennis Tour Juniors provides a launch pad for the best players to go on and achieve success in the professional game.

The top eight juniors at the end of the year go head-to-head at the prestigious season-ending ITF World Tennis Tour Junior Finals. The ITF also runs two flagship international junior team competitions – the ITF World Junior Tennis Finals (14 & under) and the Junior Davis and Junior Fed Cup by BNP Paribas Finals (16 and under).
