Since 2009 the situation of the Berlin Junior Tournament has changed fundamentally. The German Tennis Federation has awarded its “International Junior Championships” to Berlin. It is a “Grade 1” tournament in the international tournament calendar of the ITF. The LTTC „Rot-Weiss“ has therefore regained a position in the front row of the hosts of international junior tennis events with a tournament which follows in its significance right after the four Grand Slam events (Australian Open, French Open, US Open and Wimbledon). Let’s hope that the “airberlin german juniors” will replace the former “airberlin junior open” for a long time to come.
