New York, USA, August 31, 2025 | Jackson Mansell
Tahlia Kokkinis, Renee Alame and Cruz Hewitt will fly the Australian flag in US Open Juniors Action, starting on Monday morning (AEST).
Kokkinis and Alame represent Australia’s opportunities to produce their first girl champion for girls at Flushing Meadows since Jelena Dokic in 1998.
With Girls’ World No.2 Emerson Jones who chooses not to play Juniors on US Open 2025, Kokkinis arrives as the best -ranking Australian Junior.
Ranked world no. 46, the 17-year-old was solid at Grand Slam level in 2025. Kokkinis reached the quarterfinals of her home images in January, before he went to the Tour of 16 in the All England Club.
She also has a 6-3 record on hard courts this season. Kokkinis recently reached the last 16 at the ITF J300 tournament in College Park, Maryland, and kept her in handy for US Open 2025.
Kokkinis will be accompanied in the singles of the girls, pulled by alamacy, who also continued to the last 16 in College Park.
Alame plays in the first international Grand Slam of her career. Despite her limited Grand Slam experience, the 16-year-old is a serious threat to the hard court.
The Sydneysider reached two J300 Hardcourt -and and a half finals in 2025 and achieved the performance in Kuala Lumpur and Nonthaburi, Thailand.
The World No. 68 was also selected in the Australian Junior Billie Jean King Cup team that traveled to Kazakhstan in May.
Twenty -eight years after his father made his American debut, Cruz Hewitt will compete for the first time at Flushing Meadows.
Hewitt also has a strong hard court record this year and wins 11 of the 16 games. He was a finalist at a J300 event in Kuala Lumpur and Nonthaburi.
The 16-year-old is the only Australian junior who participates in the main drawing of all four Grand Slams in 2025. His best results came to Melbourne Park and the All England Club, where he appeared on the second round.
He hopes to become the first champion of Australia in 2014 since Omar Jasika.
