Eddie Herr International Junior Tennis Championships

The world's largest international youth tennis tournament, the Eddie Herr International Junior Tennis Tournament has served as a springboard to the professional tennis tour for such names as Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, Andy Roddick, David Nalbandian, Anna Kournikova, Mardy Fish, Xavier Malisse, Marcelo Rios, Jelena Jankovic, and Ana Ivanovic to name just a few.

Founded in 1987 by Eddie's grandson (Glenn Feldman) to honor his grandfather for his life's passion and success of bringing the world's best junior tennis players together to compete, the tournament now attracts the top junior players from many nations around the world! From a humble beginning of 100 participants, over 2200 players representing 92 nations applied for the tournament in 2010, which is currently being held at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. More than 136 nations have competed in the Eddie Herr over the past 20 years, a testament to Eddie's passion and vision to bring together the youth of the world!
