Tanase Cristian prepares his luggages this days for returning home after a training period at Centre International de Tenis from Barcelona, the only tennis centre recognized by the International Tennis Federation and an Official Academy Partner of Tennis Europe.
The starting point of the program was in november after the National Men's Team Championships and was centered specially on the development of the physical features, an area where was an intensive work and there were a lot of visible improvments as shown in the physical raport made by physical trainer Andreau Fuste and emerged from the observations of the director Albert Costa. Also the program included drills in technical, tactical and mental areas and many specific aspects of the high level tennis such as injury prevention exercises and recovery.
"I enjoyed that Centre International de Tennis was choosed by Cristi in order to fulfil his tennis preparation and in this way we could work toghether, knowing closely the value of the romanian tennis represented by Pavel, Nastase, Tiriac, Hanescu.
Cristi is a player with a lot of technical skills, having a good coordination, being an working child which demonstrated here that he wants to be a top player and showing an every day positive attitude for technical and physical practice sessions.
We tried to change few technical features in this two months training stage specially on his forehand and serve motion, also on the physical area where he had important improvments.
I'm satisfied for the improvments achieved in this period and once again I'm pleased that such a young tennis player practiced with us in the International Tennis Center.
Greetings for the romanian tennis!"
