Counted within the last hour. Selection runs off the ranking list when entries close, and it runs differently at different levels, so whether a junior gets in depends on where they sit in this field. Add their USTA ID and we will tell you.
Will my junior get in?
The ID is on your junior's USTA account. We look up their published standing, read it against this tournament's entry count and its selection rule, and tell you where that leaves them. We never ask for a name and USTA never sends us one.
What it is worth
Points run off the round reached, not the draw size: up to 300 ranking points for winning it.
| Champion | 300 |
| Finalist | 225 |
| Semifinalist | 150 |
| Quarterfinalist | 105 |
| Round of 16 | 54 |
| Each consolation round won | 11 |
Standings points, before bonus points for beating a ranked opponent. What a result is actually worth to your junior depends on the six results they are already counting.
