The USA teams secured the titles at the National Stadium Park Tennis and Racquet Center at Santiago, Chile. The women defeated France 2-0. To start the series, the world number one junior, Kristina Penickova, simply crushed Cindy Langlais, defeating her in straight sets, 6-2 and 6-0.
The victory and the title were clinched for the Americans with Julieta Pareja's win over Ksenia Efremova in straight sets, 6-4 and 6-3.
Meanwhile, the men defeated Japan 2-0. The Americans took the lead with Andrew Johnson's victory over Takahiro Kawaguchi in straight sets, 6-4 and 6-3. In the second rubber, Michael Antonius secured the win and another title for the U.S. team, after defeating Kanta Watanabe 6-3 and 6-2.
With this consecration, the United States repeats its 2024 campaign, with Julieta Pareja and Kristina Penickova again on the team, reaching seven total conquests since the nation began participating in the tournament.
The tournament was held last week in Santiago, Chile, on clay courts. The Finals are the culmination of a competition that took place throughout the year with different qualification phases in Asia/Oceania, Europe, Africa, South America, and North/Central America and the Caribbean. A total of 16 teams were divided into four groups in a Round Robin format, with the top two from each group advancing.
Davis Cup junior champions history Includes Nadal, Swiatek, and Alcaraz
While the boys lifted the event's fifth title with a new roster, two of their stars, Michael Antonius and Jordan Lee, were champions in the 14 & under World Championship in 2024. In the return of the Junior World Championships to Chile, the United States emerged as the best overall in both the girls' and boys' competitions without losing a single match.
The tournament featured former World No. 5 Fernando Gonzalez as the tournament ambassador. The Chilean is remembered for reaching the 2007 Australian Open final—where he lost to Roger Federer—as well as holding three Olympic medals: gold (Athens 2004, doubles), silver (Beijing 2008, singles), and bronze (Athens 2004, singles).
The final day of the Billie Jean King Cup and the Davis Cup Junior 2025 continued until this Sunday, seeking to define the remaining places in the competition.
The tournament, which measures nations with under-16 teams, has featured several stellar names who have lifted the title, including several former World No. 1s and Grand Slam champions: Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Swiatek, Ash Barty, Coco Gauff, and Felix Auger-Aliassime, among others.
