Six top juniors have been nominated to represent the U.S. at the Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge Junior Finals and Davis Cup Junior Finals, the world’s premier 16-and-under team competitions taking place November 3-9 in Santiago, Chile.

The U.S. enters the 2025 Finals as defending champions in both competitions. The U.S. girls are looking to secure their fourth consecutive title.

 

The Finals consist of three days of round-robin pool play, with each matchup consisting of two singles matches and one doubles match, followed by the knockout round.
