Filip Jianu, success obtained in front of his own fans
Jianu (23 years old, 241 ATP), the beneficiary of a Wild Card, managed to impose itself after an hour and 33 minutes, in front of a much better ranked opponent (19 years, 108 ATP).
The American, who took a set to Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open, was superior to the directly winning balls (Winners), 23-15, but made more unforced errors (30-15).
Noted at 4 and a half
Student of the “Emil Racoviță” High School, Filip Jianu left beautiful words and behind, at the School no. 11 “Ion Heliade Rădulescu”. “He had 10 on the line at school,” says the tennis teacher. Before school, the kid had a meeting with the celebrity. The first money earned him from an advertisement. Filip was a star before he cut his elbows on the benches of the primary classes. At 4 and a half, he appeared in a TV advertisement that remained famous by the reply “Fly, chicken, fly!”. At the casting, a group of older age children was selected, but the director – a Dutch – immediately at the little girl with blond hair and blue eyes, who was accidentally. Night filming followed and a benefit far above the age level.
