Hello :)
Can someone help me to find infos about junior grand slams in the 70s-80s ?
More precisely, my question is about Yannick Noah (my childhood idol :hearts:) : I can read everywhere on biographic-journalistic websites that he won Wimbledon in juniors in 1977.
But on the ITF website the grand slam winner is Van Winistky (USA) :

and on the tournament website, you have the result of the final and Van Winistky beat Teltscher :
http://www.wimbledon.org/en_GB/about/history/rolls/boysroll.html
I thought that maybe he won Wimbledon juniors in ... doubles, but there's no "boys doubles" winner on the official website before 1982.
Then where could I find (ideally :cool:) the draws for Wimbledon juniors in that time ?
And is there some truth in this allegation on websites ? Where does this assertion come from ?
Thanks for any help on this topic :worship:
