This program was launched during the full-scale invasion to support talented Ukrainian tennis players under 14. It aimed to provide them with opportunities to continue their sports careers when all international tournaments were canceled due to the war.

The program is dedicated to the development of Ukrainian tennis players under the age of 14. Its mission is to create a sustainable competitive platform, support young talents, promote the growth of junior tennis in Ukraine, and help young athletes continue their sporting journey despite the challenges of wartime.

The program is held under the patronage of Ukrainian tennis stars Elina Svitolina and Sergiy Stakhovskyi, with the support of Denys Kovtun—a Kharkiv-based entrepreneur, philanthropist, founder of EONIAN TRADE, and member of the Supervisory Board of FC Metalist 1925.

The SVITOLINA & STAKHOVSKYI TENNIS TOUR consists of three qualifying tournaments held in different cities across Ukraine, followed by a Final Tournament. Based on the results of the qualifying events, the top eight boys and top eight girls earn the right to compete in the Final, where they will contest for grant support to advance their tennis careers.

In 2026, the total prize grant fund for the Final Tournament amounts to UAH 1,250,000. The tournament is recognized as a Category I event by the Tennis Federation of Ukraine (FTU), allowing participants to earn national ranking points as well as internal Tour points required to qualify for the Final.
