New USA vs GBR Hutchins Trophy Competition Begins Friday at Queens Club; All-American Quarterfinals at Women's Lake Nona $15K; Wild Cards Clark, Whittle Reach $25K Quarterfinals

The first matches are set for Friday in the new competition established this year between Great Britain's and the United States' 18-and-under boys teams. The Hutchins Trophy, which honors former Great Britain Davis Cup captain Paul Hutchins, who died earlier this year, is being played at Queen's Club in London during the ATP 500 Fever-Tree Championships. The four US boys participating in the event are Toby Kodat, Martin Damm, Eliot Spizzirri and Will Grant. Grant is stepping in for Zane Khan, who had to pull out due to injury.  The four boys representing Great Britain are James Story, Blu Baker, Oscar Weightman and Arthur Fery.

Spizzirri plays Story, Grant plays Weightman, Damm plays Baker and Fery plays Kodat in Friday's singles matches, with two doubles matches also on the schedule. The competition will wrap up on Saturday, and if it is like the Maureen Connolly Challenge, a similar girls event that is not being played this year, each match will count for a point, with the team earning the most points declared the champion.

Friday's schedule is available here.
