The ITF Junior Age Eligibility Rule limits younger players:
| Age | Tournaments allowed |
|---|---|
| 17 and 18 | Unrestricted |
| 16 | 25 |
| 15 | 18 (plus 4 more if you reach the top 20 of the ITF junior ranking) |
| 14 | 14 (plus 4 more if you reach the top 20) |
| 13 | 10 (plus 4 more if you reach the top 50) |
| 11 and 12 | 0 |
- Your age on the first day of the main draw decides which limit applies.
- The count runs from your birthday to the day before your next birthday, not January to December.
- Playing singles, doubles or qualifying at a tournament counts as one tournament.
- These limits are separate from the age limits on professional tournaments.
