International Junior Tennis
50 Years of International Junior Tennis at the „Rot-Weiss“
For generations of tennis players world-wide, the name LTTC „Rot-Weiss“ has, during the complete post-war period since 1950, had a particularly special ring to it. For many, it was the place where they took their first tentative steps in international tennis. Some of them celebrated their first successes on these grounds, others gained initial experience for their later triumphs. The International Junior Championships of Berlin were an integral part of the „Junior World Ranking Calendar“ of the International Tennis Federation and belonged to the most popular events world-wide on the Junior Tour.
Belonging to the (later) most prominent winners among the girls were Almut Sturm (1959), Katrin Pohmann (1973), Eva Pfaff (1976), Barbara Paulus (1988) and Anke Huber (1989). The list of boys winners is even more impressive: With Wolfgang Stuck, Hajo Ploetz, Wilhelm Bungert, Harald Elschenbroich, Hans-Juergen Pohmann, Karl Meiler, Uli Pinner, Peter Elter, Klaus Eberhard, Wolfgang Popp, Patrick Kuehnen and Boris Becker (1983, two years before his Wimbledon triumph), many of the best German juniors of their time entered their names in the winners list. Among the international stars were winners Yannik Noah (1976), Bjoern Borg (1969 to 1971) und Pat Cash (1980).
