Townsend And Rubin To Lead US In World Junior Finals |

The USTA announced the top juniors who will compete on the U.S. Junior Davis Cup and Junior Fed Cup teams in the World Finals of the 16-and-under versions of Davis Cup and Fed Cup, September 25-30, in Barcelona, Spain.

Taylor Townsend (Stockbridge, Ga. ), Louisa Chirico ( Harrison , N.Y. ) and Gabrielle Andrews ( Pomona , Calif. ) will represent the United States in Junior Fed Cup, while Noah Rubin ( Rockville Centre , N.Y. ), Stefan Kozlov ( Pembroke Pines , Fla. ) and Jared Donaldson ( Cumberland , R.I. ) will play for the U.S. in Junior Davis Cup. USTA National Coach Kathy Rinaldi will captain the Junior Fed Cup Team, and USTA National Coach Nicolas Todero will captain the Junior Davis Cup Team.

The Junior Davis Cup and Junior Fed Cup World Finals will be held simultaneously, with the United States earning the No. 1 seed in both events. The 16 nations in each event were drawn into four round-robin groups, and the top team in each group will then advance to the semifinals, where a single elimination competition will determine the champion. Each match-up between countries consists of two singles matches and one doubles match. The U.S. qualified for each World Final by going undefeated in the North/Central America and Caribbean Regional Championships in April. Overall, 21 nations will be represented across the two events, with 11 countries competing in both.
