Alongside the five Super Category events and the season-ending Junior Masters, the European Junior Championships remains the most popular and prestigious tournament in the Junior Tennis calendar year of the Tennis Europe Junior Tour, for players and national federations alike.[1] Thirteen former and current world No. 1 feature amongst the previous singles champions.[1]

History

The European Junior Championships were inaugurated in 1976 and have been held annually ever since for three age groups; 14, 16, and 18 & Under.[1] With the emergence of the ATP Tour in 1990, the Tennis Europe Junior Tour was also created, and the European Junior Championships are now a part of its Junior calendar year.[2]

The only players who have reached two finals in the U14 events are Kent Carlsson (1981/82) and Răzvan Sabău (1990/91), with the former winning both while the latter lost in 1990, but won in 1991.[3] The only players who have won both the singles and doubles tournaments in the U14 events are Johan Sjogren in 1977 (paired with Jörgen Windahl), Florian Loddenkemper in 1984, Kamil Čapkovič in 2000 (paired with Peter Miklusicak), Novak Djokovic in 2001 (paired with Bojan Božović), Jérôme Inzerillo in 2004 (paired with Nassim Slilam), Bogdan Borza in 2011 (paired with Nicolae Frunză), and Thijs Boogaard in 2022.[3] The finalists in both 2004 and 2011 paired together in doubles and won.[3]
