ASICS Easter Bowl Moves To
Indian Wells Tennis Garden

April 5-13, 2014

Just one month after the world’s top men’s and women’s professional tennis players have finished battling for the coveted title as 2014 BNP Paribas Open champion, the United State top junior players will invade the Indian Wells Tennis Garden to compete in the 47th ASICS Easter Bowl.

Long considered the Super Bowl of junior tennis, the ASICS Easter Bowl will take place April 5-13, 2014, where the pros play at the world’s fifth largest professional tournament as the iconic event will be headquartered at the Indian Wells venue, as well as other Coachella Valley sites.

The Tennis Garden features 29 hard courts and hosts a number of tournaments and special events including the Big West Conference Championships, World Team Tennis National Championships, and USTA National Championships. 

There are other changes in store. The 18's will feature a 64-qualifying draw for the first time, which will take place on Saturday and Sunday, April 5-6. The main draw will start on Monday, April 7 and conclude on Sunday, April 13. The 18s is an ITF Grade B1 and USTA Level 1 event.

The 16's, 14's and 12's will be four-day events taking place Thursday-Sunday with 64 singles draw and 32 doubles and is a USTA Level 1A designated tournament.

Since its inception in 1968, when Harold Solomon beat Jimmy Connors, the ASICS Easter Bowl has been noted not only for the hospitality given to players and parents, but for its far-reaching media exposure and for keeping all the game’s important issues in public view.

No other junior tennis tournament in the United States possesses the same rich history as the ASICS Easter Bowl.  The tournament was started in New York City by Hamilton and has been played in Florida, Arizona and California.

***2014 Easter Bowl ITF B1 Acceptance Process***

The Easter Bowl 18 and under event has been a closed ITF Grade B1 event since 2005. The same acceptance process has been used each year. Players must have an active ITF IPIN account in order to enter and compete in this event.

Step 1

In an agreement with the International Tennis Federation Juniors Committee, a truncated list of the top 40 Americans on the ITF Junior Ranking List is created. If any of the players on this list enter they receive direct acceptances. The March 10, 2014 ITF ranking list will be used to create this truncated list. In accordance with the agreement with the ITF, except for seeding purposes, this is the last time that ITF rankings are used.

Step 2

The remaining vacancies are filled with players not already accepted from the Boys’ and Girls’ 18 and under National Standing List in the order in which they appear on that list. The list from March 12, 2014 will be used for this purpose

Step 3

According to ITF rules, eight (8) wild cards are available for a 64 draw event. Unused wild cards revert back to the wild card committee.

Qualifying

In 2014 a qualifying event will be held for the first time. The qualifying will be a 64 draw and eight (8) players will qualify for the main draw. Qualifying acceptances will be based on the Boys’ and Girls’ 18 and under National Standing List of March 12, 2014.

Alternates

Alternates are ordered using the March 12, 2014 Boys’ and Girls’ 18 and under National Standing List in the order in which they appear on that list.
