U.S. Junior Fed Cup, World Junior Tennis teams qualify for finals

May 1, 2011 06:27 AM
The U.S. Junior Fed Cup team has advanced to the Junior Fed Cup World Finals and will try to win its fifth straight title at the event, when it takes place Sept. 27-Oct. 2 in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.
 
Brooke Austin, Gabrielle Andrews and Taylor Townsend, who were members of last year's winning Junior Fed Cup team, went undefeated in the qualifying tournament that took place April 29-May 1 in Merida, Mexico, to advance the U.S. team to the final round of the competition.

Both the U.S. boys' and girls' World Junior Tennis teams also moved on to the final, with the girls defeating Cuba, 3-0, and the boys beating Canada, 2-1. The World Junior Tennis Finals will be held in the Czech Republic later this year.

The U.S. Junior Davis Cup team finished in second place in the qualifying round but did not reach the final because Mexico automatically advanced as the host nation.
 
Each event in the qualifying tournament featured a four-team, round-robin competition. Other nations participating included Mexico, Canada, Bahamas, Cuba, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.
