2021 USTA National Doubles Championships
Top Duos Head to Orlando
August 26, 2021

The USTA National Campus welcomes the USTA National Doubles Championships, part of the adidas Junior National Championship Series, back after a one-year hiatus. Top duos in the boys’ and girls’ 14s, 16s, & 18s will be in action Friday, August 27 through Sunday, August 29.
As the event is a Level 1 USTA National Championship, Gold, Silver, and Bronze Balls will be awarded to the top three tandems in each division. Since its inaugural year in 2003, the USTA National Doubles Championships has been the only USTA national junior competition devoted solely to doubles.
The weekend’s schedule will see two rounds played on Friday to kick off the tournament with another two rounds slated for Saturday. Sunday will feature only those teams advancing to the final rounds of the nine points of their respective divisional compass draw. All matches will be the best-of-three tiebreak sets and use no-ad scoring.
Listed below are the eight seeded pairs in each draw. For more information on the 2021 USTA National Doubles Championships, click here.
