Career

The top spin player Ionescu was drawn to Germany early on because of the training conditions and the opportunity for further athletic development. Before that, he collected laurels as a pupil and youth at his hometown club CSM Buzău and already internationally for his country, for example at a European pupil championship.

In 2005 he joined the regional league club TSG 1845 Heilbronn . A year later he moved to Ochsenhausen in the association and later the upper league . Since 2008 he played in the second Bundesliga, in the 2008/09 season at TSV Graefelfing , then until 2012 at TTC Weinheim .

With the second division Union Velbert he reached the quarter-finals of the DTTB table tennis cup in 2012. Here he defeated Torben Wosik ( SV Plüderhausen ) and in the semifinals Patrick Franziska from TTC Maberzell . In 2013 he moved to Bundesliga promoted TTC Hagen , for whom he achieved a record of 10:11 in 2014/15, and in 2015 to Post SV Mühlhausen , where he has since extended to 2020. In the course of the next season he continued to improve, so that he improved his record to 16:11 and in March 2016, after the World Cup, made it into the top 100 of the world rankings for the first time . This also made him the top-ranked Romanian player for the first time before Adrian Crişan . He qualified for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and reached a place among the last 32. At the European Championship 2018 he defeated, placed 25th, among others the reigning champion Emmanuel Lebesson and in the end surprisingly finished second. From 2018 he formed a double with the Spaniard Álvaro Robles ; together they won silver at the China Open after eliminating the Ma Long / Xu Xin doubles, among other things , and at the 2019 World Cup after losing to Ma Long / Wang Chuqin in the final . With Mühlhausen, Ionescu also played in the Champions League in 2018/19 , where the quarter-finals were reached and only just lost to KNT UGMK .
