Romanian tennis legend Ilie Nastase has talked about the Fed Cup semi-final against France this weekend, in Rouen. He claims the Romanian team is favourite, but warns the atmosphere in the sports hall will most certainly be hostile.

“We have the first chance. We go there to win, especially that we play on clay, the surface preferred by Simona Halep. We also have a good doubles team,” Ilie Nastase said for ‘Libertatea’ newspaper.

“The sports hall will be full and hostile towards our team, within limits. There is a tennis referee, so things cannot get out of control,” he added.

“I am very excited and looking forward to the tie. I want to win, to win both my matches and help the team. The match will be tough, the opponents are tough and strong in the doubles. I will focus just on myself,” Simona Halep, 2nd WTA, said for fedcup.com on Tuesday.

The Fed Cup semi-finals take place this weekend: France vs. Romania and Australia vs. Belarus.

I am in late 50s, great age to become a philosopher! Yet, I am doing my job in journalism, trying to deliver clear and accurate information to our readers, be them expats in Romania or people living abroad and interested in the developments taking place here.
I worked for several important newspapers, attended a Reuters scholarship, had collaborations with Al-Jazeera and Intelstrat. As journalist, I had the opportunity to interview several Romanian ministers and the NATO Secretary General at the time Javier Solana.
Anyway, these are old stories, currently I focus on this news website and, together with my colleagues, I do my best to achieve our goals.
I hope most of our readers will continue to access our website. Keep in touch with Romanian realities! Several rounds of elections are ahead, the courts are expected to deliver some important rulings that may change the entire domestic spectrum. We’ll be here to keep you informed!
