JEAN-JULIEN ROJER, HORIA TECAU: EXPERIENCE COUNTS FOR FORMER CHAMPIONS

Spoiler:

For Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau, tennis is never more extreme than inside this pleasure dome by the River Thames, with violent swings in fortune. On their previous visits to The O2, they have either lost every match they have played that week or gone undefeated and not even dropped a set. Is there another team who have a record like this here or at any other tournament on the ATP Tour?

The first time they qualified as a team for the season finale, in 2014, the Dutch-Romanian pairing didn’t win any of their three group matches. The following year, they went undefeated in all of their five matches, and such was their dominance, they were also the first pair to win the title without losing a set since round-robin play began in 1986. There was to be another enormous swing in fortunes in 2017, which was the third time they qualified as a team, when they again lost all three of their group matches; from despair to joy and then back to despair again.

And when you look deeper at Rojer’s record, you see that the Dutchman’s results at this tournament have always been extreme, as he also qualified in 2012 and 2013 with Pakistan’s Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi, and both of those years he didn’t win a match.

Rojer, who was born on the Caribbean island of Curacao, and is close friends with Andy Murray (he was a guest at the Briton’s wedding), is yet to have a so-so or middling tournament here. Who can say how this week will play out for Rojer and Tecau as they seek a second title at the Nitto ATP Finals? You would imagine that the past experience of winning the title on this court would count for something, but it’s hard to predict with any certainty how they will do this week. What you can be sure of is that they have already taken considerable pleasure from returning to The O2, after their absence last year when Tecau missed several months of the regular season through injury. Playing at The O2, in front of the biggest doubles crowds of the year, never gets old for Rojer and Tecau, with the size of the audience probably heightening the emotions they feel out there under the lights.

Qualifying among the leading eight teams was their reward for a season in which they took an ATP Masters 1000 title, in Madrid in May, which meant they had won at least one tournament a year for the last six seasons, starting with their first year together in 2014 when they landed an astonishing eight. In addition to winning Madrid, Rojer and Tecau were also the champions in Basel, and reached the finals of tournaments in Rotterdam and Washington, D.C., and made the quarter-finals of Roland Garros and Wimbledon.

TECAU/ROJER AIM TO RECAPTURE PAST NITTO ATP FINALS FORM

Spoiler:

In the world of quickfire doubles, it is rare to lift an ATP Tour trophy without dropping a set during a tournament week. Four years ago, Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau did just that, not only wrapping up the 2015 year-end No. 1 ATP Doubles Team Ranking, but also beating all of their principle rivals at the Nitto ATP Finals.

Memories of that week under the dim lights of The O2 in London burn bright for Rojer and Tecau, who have since added to their 2015 Wimbledon crown with the 2017 US Open title.

“There has been injuries, but also we’re four years old,” Rojer told ATPTour.com. “I also think that many factors came together that week, because it’s one thing to win this event, but also in the fashion that we won it. A lot of things came together, you need a bit of luck. It was one of those weeks.

“We’re trying to recapture that form, perhaps a little differently now as we’re older and train differently. We are trying to reach that level in a different way, maybe not as much time on the court, but you have to reinvent yourselves and done a little bit differently.”

Tecau believes that sticking with a partner in the long-term is beneficial, and in his partnership with Rojer, who possesses fine touch and good hands, opposites attract.

“I think a lot of players are following the formula of having one set partner for a long time, so you can get better with as a team,” Tecau told ATPTour.com. “We have had a few teams likes Cabal/Farah that have been together for a while, and they’ve chosen this year to be successful. The doubles guys are looking to have a commitment for a long-time as a team. It gives you an advantage. I see more of that.”

Over the past five seasons, Rojer and Tecau have compiled an impressive 20-7 record in tour-level finals and, once into a tournament, have a reputation for being able to put together a big run.

“I’m definitely always confident,” said Rojer. “You can’t always win every match, but I’m confident in those moments when it comes to the crunch on a big point. How we’ve played and our past results give you that feeling you can win it. We go into every match feeling that we can win and that gives us confidence. It’s do-able, but you can also lose matches. I think for Horia and I, when we’re on a roll and have a routine, that’s when we can be at our most dangerous. When we pass our first match, and get into the week, that’s when we tend to do well.”

This week at the Nitto ATP Finals, Rojer and Tecau will make their third appearance as a team (also 2017). They will open their campaigns in Group Max Mirnyi on Monday afternoon against Germans Kevin Krawietz and Andreas Mies, the Roland Garros champions.

Expert Analysis: Max Mirnyi, former World No. 1 and two-time Nitto ATP Finals doubles champion.
“I’m friends with both of them and from a personal, human perspective, they are very different personalities and to see them blend as well as they have and to see them be as patient as they have been is certainly rewarding. They see the reward coming their way every now and then.


“They maybe would have liked to win more, as natural for anybody competing out there. But the fact that they’ve made it back to the Nitto ATP Finals [shows the] significance of their professionalism, commitment to one another and overall improving as tennis players. The longer you stay together, there is more studying availability for those you play against, and the fact that they’re continuing to do well just shows that everybody is out there willing to improve and there are no exceptions.”

Rojer/Tecau on The Board in London

Spoiler:

2015 champions defeat Cabal/Farah on Wednesday
Former champions Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau played with terrific energy, full of attacking intent on Wednesday at the Nitto ATP Finals, where they beat the 2019 year-end No. 1 team Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah 6-2, 5-7, 10-8 in Group Max Mirnyi over 90 minutes.

Rojer and Tecau, winners of the 2015 season finale at The O2 in London and the year’s No. 1 duo, are now 1-1 in round-robin play. With a 31-22 record in 2019, the Dutch-Romanian tandem has won two ATP Tour titles at the Mutua Madrid Open (d. Schwartzman/Thiem) and at the Swiss Indoors Basel (d. Fritz/Opelka).

Cabal twice came under pressure in his service games, with the potency of Tecau’s returns giving the Colombian team real difficulties. Rojer and Tecau took a 3-1 lead after a backhand crosscourt winner from Tecau, and at 5-2, Tecau ripped a backhand return that Cabal volleyed up, only to see Rojer cross to poach to seal the 28-minute opener.

Farah came alive at 5-5 in the 46-minute second set, latching onto returns to create three break point chances on Rojer’s serve. Cabal capitalised on a miscommunication, returning down the line they rushing forwards for a simple forehand volley. Minutes later, the 33-year-old Cabal closed out to love for a Match Tie-break.

Rojer and Tecau took a 6/2 lead in the Match Tie-break, but their opponents whittled away the advantage – recovering to 6/6. From that point, the pressure was firmly on Rojer and Tecau, who regrouped from a 7/8 deficit with three straight points – including a clutch angled volley from Tecau, which left Farah diving. Tecau, the best performer on the court, had the final say: hitting a forehand return that Farah mistimed out.

Cabal and Farah, who beat Rojer and Tecau in five sets en route to their first Grand Slam championship crown in July at Wimbledon, are now 49-18 on the season. The pair also lifted trophies at the US Open (d. Granollers/Zeballos), the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell (d J. Murray/Soares), Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome (d. Klaasen/Venus) and the Nature Valley International in Eastbourne (d. M. Gonzalez/Zeballos).
