ITF Masters 30, 35, 40 & 45 World Team Championships players head to Turkey

March 08, 2025


Thirty-two players will represent the United States at the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Masters 30, 35, 40 and 45 World Team Championships, which will be held March 9-14 at the Ali Bey Club, in Manavgat, Turkey.

 

The event will see 126 teams— representing nations from every region—compete in Turkey to become world champions. The United States women’s 45+ team will look to win back-to-back Margaret Court Cup titles with returning players Hiromi Sasano and Julia Dimitrov joined by newcomers Brandi Bratek & Lauren Ruben. Their win last year marked the first championship for a United States under-50 team in 10 years. Also looking to hoist a trophy will be the Men’s 30 Cup after finishing as finalists for the second year in a row.

The tournament is the Masters equivalent of the Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup competitions, with top American tennis players representing their country in the 30-, 35-, 40- and 45-and-over age groups.

 

Following the ITF Masters World Team Championships, the individual championships will be held from March 15 to 22 at the same site.
