Teams announced for 2026 60+, 65+, and 70+ Masters World Team Championships

The USTA announced the players who will represent the United States at the Masters World Team Championships, which will be held November 8-13 in Manavgat, Turkey. This event was initially cancelled for safety reasons in March and subsequently rescheduled for November.

The tournament is the masters equivalent of the Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup competitions, where top American tennis players represent their country in the 60+, 65+, and 70+ age groups.

American athletes continue to show the longevity of playing tennis as the Americans reached five of the six Cup finals last year on home soil, with the Alice Marble Cup (Women’s 60+) and Althea Gibson Cup (Women’s 70+) teams winning titles.  The Britannia Cup (Men’s 65+), Jack Crawford Cup (Men’s 70+) and Kitty Godfree Cup (Women’s 65+) teams all finished as finalists.

Following the ITF World Team Championships, the individual championships will be held from November 14th to the 21st. 

American athletes will look to repeat the success of last year which saw them bring home several titles at the 2025 World Individual Championships: Christina Kaus won the women’s 60+ doubles title alongside Stina Mosvold of Sweden, while the American due of Chuck Kuhle and Mark Vines lifted the men’s 65+ doubles trophy. Susan Wright claimed the women’s 65+ singles title, while Daniel Waldman won both the singles and doubles titles in the men’s 70+ division, pairing up with compatriot Richard Meyer in doubles. Carolyn Nicholas swept the women’s 70+ titles, joining forces with fellow American Bunnie Jackson to claim the doubles trophy.
