BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) - Former star player Ilie Nastase has resigned as head of the Romanian Tennis Federation.
The resignation comes after he was criticized for spending too much money on a Davis Cup match against France which Romania lost 5-0.
Nastase adds that he's also resigning because he had failed to purchase a building and land for a tennis academy, which had been one of his goals. "I have been defeated by the justice system and the press in Romania," he tells Realitatea TV.
