Ilie Nastase, the champion Roland Garros In 1973, he was accused by his friend Ion Țiriac that would “inflate” the amounts he earned during his tennis career.
Ion Țiriac, on Ilie Năstase: “He’s senile, he didn’t take that much money at Roland Garros”
The two also became a couple in the edition of 1970 a Roland Garros, when they won the trophy in doubles.
“Elijah told me, ‘I think they gave me $ 12,000 when I won Roland Garros.’ It is senile that he did not take it. It took $ 2,000-3,000.
When we won double, he lies, he says he gave us $ 500. They gave me 500 francs, which was $ 100, but it was another moment. “said Ion Țiriac of TVR.
Țiriac: “At Roland Garros 1970 they gave us $ 100. In Madrid there are prizes of $ 16-17 million for eight days of competition”
In an interview with Digi Sport in 2019, Ion Țiriac made a comparison between the awards won during his period of activity and those of today, which speaks for itself of the changes in tennis.
“Well, says Nastase … but he’s younger and he doesn’t remember. I have to remember these things. I remember that yes when we won the double in ’70 at Roland Garros they gave us $ 100. He says they gave us 150. No, me I say they gave us 100. And today I, here, have somewhere 16-17 million dollars for eight days of competition (no tournament in Madrid).
So things have changed a bit. They changed! The sport has changed a bit. Market demands. As long as the market demands and can sell this thing called sports. But, as you can see, sport has become a profession. In all sports, some richer, some poorer. Tennis is probably after football “said Țiriac, for Digi Sport.
