PARIS, June 3 (Xinhua) -- For the second year in a row, the International Philippe-Chatrier Cup will be held to fund national tennis federations based on the results obtained by juniors in the singles and doubles tournaments, the French Tennis Federation (FFT) announced on Sunday.

The juniors' tournament, which takes place between June 3 and June 9 at Roland-Garros, gives spectators the chance to get a glimpse of tomorrow's champions.

Last year's winners were Spain (for the boys' tournament) and Russia (for the girls' tournament). These two countries will receive their trophies on Monday.

With this competition, the FFT aims to reward national federations' efforts to train future champions on clay and support younger players. It is specifically geared towards those federations that do not directly earn revenues from Grand Slams, but train juniors on a daily basis.

The cup comes with prize money of one million euros, which will be split equally between the boys' and girls' competitions. The money will be distributed to federations based on players' final results.

This innovative and generous initiative is central to the FFT's international aid program. It is supported by FFT President Bernard Giudicelli, who wishes to promote and encourage the development of tennis around the world.
