It was the British National Championships played on the hard courts at Wimbledon, and was known then as Junior Wimbledon. I played in the tournament so I can speak with some authority |
Yes, you're right, Junior Wimbledon was a different event from the boys' singles event, which was played on grass as part of the annual Championships at Wimbledon since 1947.
I believe racing driver James Hunt also competed at Junior Wimbledon & I recall him walloping the opposition when tennis was part of "Superstars" & JPR did the same in 1976. |  |

You may be right about James Hunt, but he was pretty much the same age as me, and I don’t remember him playing. The junior event played during the main championship for many years had a very limited entry in terms of numbers. | | | |
