Hubo un partido de tenis junior masculino el martes.


Explanation:
In this case, I think they say boys tennis because they are not referring to prefessional or adult players but to the young players who are not yet in the professional level. Obviously, a wider context would be useful to determine one way or the other.

hubo un partido de tenis masculino el martes


Explanation:
There are several verb tenses in spanish that could correspond to the simple past in English but I always tick to this one, is the safer and always write tense to use.

Good luck.
