The Romanian Horia Tecau was happy about the end of his career and was happy to win a match at the ATP Finals in the last game of his career. On Thursday, Tecau and Kevin Krawietz defeated Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos 6: 3, 6: 7 (1), 10: 6.
Tecau and Krawietz did not make it to the semi-finals as they ended the group with one win and two losses. “It’s an incredible feeling. I couldn’t have written a better script for this moment.
I’m really happy to be here, to make it in a nice team and to finish with a win, ”Tecau told the ATP website. “Before the match we were in the locker room and couldn’t talk about tactics.
I just wanted to play my last game like I did in my career – play with good energy, try to win and fight hard until the end and leave everything on the pitch. That’s how I’ve played every time and that’s the mark I wanted to leave on the pitch.
To be able to win in the final match at an event like this is an amazing feeling that not many players have. It will probably move in in the next few days, but I’m really happy to leave it that way. ”
Tecau had a successful career in doubles
Tecau won two Grand Slam titles in men’s doubles and one Grand Slam title in mixed doubles.
In 2015, Tecau achieved the best position in doubles as number 2 in the world. “I am proud of a lot. I’ve grown as a person through the game. I was able to achieve all the goals and dreams that I had and that is very fulfilling.
I met great people along the way. I had great partners, coaches and a lot of friendships, ”said Tecau. “The way I went through it all and matured as a person and a player is the greatest thing I am proud of in my opinion.”
