Number one under 14 category athlete in European Tennis Rankings, Mihai Coman, had been awarded during the press conference of this year’s Dr. Oetker Junior Trophy’s edition.
“Dr. Oetker Junior Trophy is the most important junior competition in this part of Europe. It has progressively grown from one edition to another, becoming an extremely important sports event. This has been confirmed by the significant number of participants, which is undoubtedly bigger than it was in any previous edition. The interest for this tournament has also grown significanly. Half of the 190 athletes competing are romanians. Due to being a 1st category tournament, many other countries are showing great interest in attending. It would have been impossible for us to organise this event without the help of our main partner, Dr. Oetker Romania, which has been offering its support for all important tennis competitions held in Romania. These are the events that show the world : we are able to set up world-class competitions and we support our future champions. We are happy to notice that the front-players of this tournament, both for girl’s and boy’s category, are romanians.” said George Cosac F.R. Tennis Director.
Being multiple times national and international champions, Eva Maria Ionescu and David Carteputredă were offered the award “Promising Talents”.

This tournament will continue to grow and we are hoping, next year, more than 200 young tennis players will be able to join. However, for me, the greatest joy was to see Eva Ionescu at the awardings. She is a great example for how much a young athlete can improve with proper support. I am proud to see these children becoming more and more successful, having better results from one competition to another” said Ioan Cozma, General Director of Dr. Oetker Romania.
