For this performance in the BRD tennis tournament, Radio Romania International has designated Tecau, Athlete of the Week. We interviewed him shortly after the game and he told us: \u201cI\u2019m very happy I was able to win again this title in Bucharest, this time with a new partner. Playing and winning in this arena gives me a special feeling. I was very excited to see how many supporters I had during the game, family members and all, as this is the only place where I could play in front of them. Most of my games take place in cities around the world where you can get the support of two-three people, if you\u2019re lucky\u2026There aren\u2019t many tournaments that manage to get so many people for a doubles game but I see it has quite become a tradition here to have plenty of spectators for the doubles games and I\u2019m glad to see that\u2026It\u2019s great to play in a game and even greater to win.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
Horia Tecau\u2019s prize closet includes 19 victories in ATP tournaments, all in doubles contests. He won three of them together with Rojer in Zagreb, Casablanca and Bucharest.<\/p>\n
