How Horia Tecău managed to “checkmate” the Kichenok sisters in the decisive match at BJKC: “I felt tension”

A week after the great victory against Ukraine, Horia Tecău was present in the studio of the “Aces of Tennis” show and explained how his students managed to make a sensational comeback.

“I told them that it’s 0-2 and that we have only one option. We had to do more. Slowly, slowly, it also manifested itself on the court, Ana’s (No. Bogdan) match against Svitolina was very close, but she stayed there and fought.

I knew that after a win, especially against Svitolina, where they expected to close the match, it would be more difficult for them. Already at 2-1 the dynamic changes. Tsurenko was watching Svitolina’s match and hoped to close out the match.

I knew from the morning that if it was 2-2, Ana and Jaqueline won their matches, so they feel good and are in shape, they have confidence. They took the field against the Kichenok sisters, I expected them to play. They have not played before so it was in their hands to win the match and they felt the pressure. They were favorites.

Ana and Jaqueline surprised the Ukrainians from the beginning, the match was balanced. I felt a little tension in their team, but Ana and Jaqueline kept an aggressive line with strong shots. In the end it was seen that perhaps the trust and desire was very high for Jaqueline and Ana”said Horia Tecau.
