A venue with history and vision

“We thank the Țiriac Foundation for its continued involvement in supporting Romanian tennis. The support of Mr. Ion Țiriac, alongside legendary figures such as Ilie Năstase, represents an essential pillar in the development of tennis in Romania. It is an honor for us to have such ambassadors of sport by our side,” stated George Cosac, President of the Romanian Tennis Federation.

The venue, partners, and conditions offered to players meet international standards.
