US Players Prepare for ITF World Junior Tennis Tournament

The USTA has selected the players for the 14-and-under ITF World Junior Tennis competition taking place next month in the Czech Republic. With one exception, they are the same players that represented the U.S. in the North American qualifying in Montreal back in May. The boys team remains the same. The girls team will include Sachia Vickery in place of Madison Keys. The tournament will have a higher profile than usual with Laura Robson, the 14-year-old Wimbledon Junior Champion, scheduled to compete for Great Britain.

Hey

looks good to me except for Sock. Not sure he should be above Kulda who has ATP points or Cox who has a solid ITF ranking, but the top 4 reflect ITF and USTA rankings/wins. My pick for the top 8 would be slightly tweeked:

1-4: King, Fowler, Kudla, VanOverbeek and not sure which order: 4-8: Cox, Sarmiento, Bangoura, and either Sock or Pasha and no opinion after that.
