The USTA is reintroducing the “Junior Player Promise” at this National Championship event.

“I recognize that tennis is a sport that places the responsibility for fair play on me. I promise to abide by the rules of the game, which require me to give the benefit of the doubt to my opponent. At all times I shall strive to compete with the true spirit of sportsmanship, recognizing that my behavior on the court is a direct reflection of my character. Whether this match ends with my victory or defeat, I promise to conduct myself in a way that honors my opponents, my team, those who support me, and the game of tennis.”

Once your singles matches are complete, please take a minute to complete the questionnaire on how well you see this Player Promise exhibited during the tournament. More details will be available at the tournament site director's desk.

All Qualifying players should check-in 25 minutes before their match (check in at the match site). There is no need to check in anywhere on Wednesday.
