About Australian International Junior Series
Part of the ITF World Tennis Tour Juniors, it’s a series of tournaments held throughout the year in various locations in Australia for players aged 18 and under. Designed to enhance competitive opportunities and support player development, the series offers a valuable pathway for junior talents aiming to progress to professional tennis.
Participants earn ITF World Tennis Tour Junior Rankings points, which are converted monthly to contribute to their official Australian ranking – helping young athletes gain recognition both nationally and internationally.
The tournaments
The series are made up of different levels of tournaments – from J30 through to J60, J100, J200 and J300 – plus The Australian Open Junior Championships, one of the premier events in junior tennis. Players have the opportunity to compete in both singles and doubles events.
Those who are new to the ITF World Tennis Tour Juniors events are recommended to start their journey by entering the J30 and J60 events, which are the entry-level events.
The series of tournaments begins with the J300 tournament in Traralgon, a key event that attracts top junior players from around the world. It’s followed by the Australian Open Junior Championships in Melbourne.
Throughout the year, more tournaments take place Australia-wide, giving young players great opportunities to compete, improve and earn the prestigious ITF ranking points that allow them to progress to professional tennis.

Ranking points allocation
Players earn ranking points depending on the grade of the tournament they compete in. The event name describes the maximum number of ranking points a player can earn.
Higher-level events such as J100 and J300 offer more ranking points and attract stronger competition than entry-level events such as J30 and J60.
To get points from the main draw, a player must win at least one match in that draw. Byes in the first round don’t count as a win. Walkovers and retirements do count as wins.
