Australian Junior Tour Update

The Australian Junior Tour has been rebranded as the De Minaur Junior Tour, reflecting a deeper commitment to nurturing the next generation, led by Australia’s top player, Alex de Minaur. As part of this initiative, a new scholarship program will provide resources and mentorship to high-achieving juniors. The two winners of each age group at the end of year finals (one boy and one girl from the 12/u and 14/u age group) will automatically win the De Minaur Junior Tour scholarship.
