Biography In his youth at the age of 12 he made plans to run out of Communist Romania and started an intensive training program that included daily jogging and swimming so that he could be ready, by the age of 17, for any obstacle that could emerge during his intended flight from the country. His first contact with sports took place at FC Dinamo București where he played football at a youth level, but he soon found tennis more interesting and started to train under the guidance of Florin Segărceanu. 9 and 6 Durban WCH (left and right arms) 2004 1 Sofia ECH First two titles (left and right arms)
