The president of the Romanian Tennis Federation, George Cosac (57 years old), said on a press conference on Friday that Horia Tecău’s (40) decision to give up the role of non-jerking captain of the Romanian Jean King Cup of Romania will be related to the refusal of certain players to present to this. sports. For now, the NA Federation managed to find a replacement to Tecău.

“It is possible that Tecău had left because the girls did not come to the team. It did not clearly tell me that this is the main reason, but from my point of view to Horia’s performance, what he represents as an individual, all that Horia means in a word, is embarrassing to be able to refuse or not come or not provide your services.
Especially that, a year ago, the prizes offered by the International Federation, by ITF for participating in the final tournament were extremely consistent. Now it is true that he was played in Japan, it was a pretty long, tiring journey, he can endanger the competitive calendar, but I do not think there is something more important as a sportsman, as an individual, than to represent your country, to write Romania there.
The fact that they make some decisions like this and do not want to represent Romania, from my point of view it is a shame”, Said Cosac.
The president of the federation said that they are in negotiations with a few former players to take over the position left free by Horia Tecău.
“We are in negotiations with a few former athletes after Horia Tecău’s departure. We are waiting for the answer from each. It is true that we asked for a strategy to come to present, to see how I see things. I will announce the name next week, I don’t want to put pressure on them. As every time we want to have the best team, to have the best girls. We hope they will come this time.
If not, that is why we do these competitions to raise the level of the girls. We can raise the level of the girls, so that in 2-3 years we have a competitive team. Of course there is an exchange of generations and I think this happens to any sports discipline and in any country. There is an exchange of generations, 2-3-5 years.
I think it will be a very short period because we have a lot of perspective players and I am convinced that they will cope successfully in the immediate period“, Added George Cosac.
Former tennis player Horia Tecău announced on August 19 that he gave up his role as a non -working captain of the Romanian King Cup of Romania. Tecău held the position of March 7, 2022.
