2025 USTA Junior National Schedule; Southern Californians Lead USA Davis Cup Team in First Round Qualifying; Fourteen Americans in Australian Open Qualifying Second Round Action Wednesday

One of my most referenced posts in any year is the one that provides a link to the google document of the USTA National Junior schedule, which isn't posted in an obvious place on usta.com. The 2025 document is now available here, with the caveat that this information is subject to change and often does, especially regarding events later in the year. 

The United States Davis Cup team will be without the top six American men in the ATP rankings when it takes on Taiwan later this month in Taipei in the first round of qualifying. Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul, Francis Tiafoe, Ben Shelton, Sebastian Korda and Brandon Nakashima are not playing, with all but Korda entered in the Dallas Open, which begins, in its first year as a 500 level tournament, two days after the Davis Cup ends. Alex Michelsen and Marcos Giron(UCLA) have agreed to play for captain Bob Bryan; they are also on the Dallas player list revealed today, with Giron reaching the final in Dallas last year. Joining Michelsen, currently 41 in the ATP rankings and Giron, currently 45, are Mackenzie McDonald(UCLA), Austin Krajicek(Texas A&M) and Rajeev Ram(Illinois), giving the team a decided college flavor. Michelsen and Giron will be making their Davis Cup debuts; McDonald has been called on often in the past two years. 

Taiwan has no men currently in the Top 100, with Chun Hsin (Jason) Tseng, who won the boys Roland Garros and Wimbledon titles in 2018, having the highest ATP ranking at 118, followed by Tung Lin (Tony) Wu at 238. 

For more on the Americans selected, see this article from usta.com.
