Jerzy Janowicz Jr. (Polish pronunciation: [ˈjɛʐɨ jaˈnɔvʲit͡ʂ]; born 13 November 1990) is a Polish professional tennis player who is the current highest-ranked male Polish player. Runner-up in two Junior Grand Slam tournaments, Janowicz rose to fame on the pro circuit following his run to the final of the 2012 Paris Masters, during which he defeated five top-20 players, including US Open champion Andy Murray and world No. 9 Janko Tipsarević. The run made him the first man to reach the final of a Masters tournament as a qualifier since Guillermo Cañas in 2007, and the first unseeded man to make the final at the Paris Masters since Andrei Pavel in 2003. He fell in the final to David Ferrer in straight sets. However, the run to the 2012 Paris Masters final enabled Janowicz to become the Polish No. 1 and crack the top 30, later reaching a career-high of world No. 14 in August 2013.[2] Janowicz then became the first Polish man to reach a Grand Slam semifinal at Wimbledon 2013, losing in four sets to eventual champion Andy Murray. In 2013, he was awarded the Gold Cross of Merit by Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski.[3] His current coach is Finnish former tennis player Kim Tiilikainen, and his strength and conditioning coach is Piotr Grabia.[4]

Personal life

Born in Łódź, Poland Janowicz began playing tennis at the age of five after his parents introduced him to the sport. Father, Jerzy, and mother, Anna Szalbot, were both professional volleyball players. Janowicz has named Pete Sampras as his inspiration.[5] Every October Janowicz and his team run the annual Atlas Jerzyk Cup tennis tournament in Lodz, Poland promoting the sport to young children, ages 8 to 12 years old.[4]

Career

Juniors

Janowicz inherits his athleticism and height from his parents, who were both volleyball players. Also his parents were highly aggressive and very susceptible to letting their emotions take control of them, which Janowicz clearly inherits given his many controversial moments on the tennis court.[6] At the age of 10 or 11, his parents sold off their chain of sports stores and apartments to support their son's training, recognizing that he had a future in tennis from a young age.[7] As a junior Janowicz posted a 59–23 win/loss record and reached a combined ranking of no. 5 in the world in 2008.[8] He reached the boys' singles final at the 2007 US Open and 2008 French Open, losing in straight sets to Ričardas Berankis and Yang Tsung-Hua, respectively.[8]

2012: Top 30 ATP ranking and breakthrough on ATP World Tour

Janowicz ended 2011 ranked 221 in the world.[2] At the start of 2012 he could not play in the 2012 Australian Open due to lack of sponsorship.[9] In February, he was the runner-up in a Challenger tournament in Wolfsburg, Germany. Later in the year, he won three Challenger tournament finals. At the 2012 French Open, he got as far as the third round of qualifying, but failed to make it into the main draw. At the 2012 Wimbledon Championships, he made it through the three rounds of qualifying to be in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time, where he defeated a qualifier, Simone Bolelli, in the first round, Ernests Gulbis in the second, then lost to the 31st seed Florian Mayer in the third. At the 2012 US Open, he made it directly into a Grand Slam without having to compete in the qualifying rounds. He lost to young American wildcard Dennis Novikov.

In November 2012, Janowicz qualified for the main draw of the 2012 BNP Paribas Masters, an ATP 1000 tournament. He defeated world no. 19, Philipp Kohlschreiber, in the first round, the no. 14, Marin Čilić, in the second, and the no. 3 and Olympic Gold medalist and US Open Champion, Andy Murray, in the third. He defeated Murray in three sets, saving one match point en route. He said afterwards, "This was the most unbelievable day in my life."[10] In the quarterfinals, he defeated no. 9, Janko Tipsarević, to go on to play in the semifinals where he beat Frenchman and no. 20 Gilles Simon to reach his first ATP tour-level final. He was the first qualifier to do this since Andrei Pavel in 2003 and the first player to reach the final on his ATP World Tour Masters 1000 debut since Harel Levy in 2000.[11] In the final he was defeated by fourth seed David Ferrer, but afterwards said "I've got a lot of confidence right now. I learned if you have big heart and you want to do something amazing and you're going to fight for this, you have a big chance to make it."[12][13] His run led him to the top 30 for the first time in his career, and he finished the year ranked no. 24, almost 200 places higher than the previous year.[12]

2013: Ascent to No. 14 and first Grand Slam semifinal

Jerzy Janowicz at Roland Garros 2013

Janowicz began his season at the Heineken Open in Auckland, New Zealand, where he was seeded fifth; however, was knocked out in his opening match against American Brian Baker. He then competed for the first time in the main draw of the Australian Open, where he was the 24th seed, the first time he had been seeded at a Grand Slam tournament. He won his first two matches against Italian Simone Bolelli in straight sets, and Somdev Devvarman of India, against whom he had to recover from a two-set deficit to win in five. In his third-round match, he lost to 10th seed Nicolás Almagro in straight sets.

He played the Indian Wells Masters, where he reached the third round and was eventually eliminated by Richard Gasquet. He then played at the Miami Masters, where he was seeded 21st, but lost his first match in the second round to Brazilian, Thomaz Bellucci. At the Monte Carlo Masters, he again lost his first match in the first round to South African, Kevin Anderson. He continued to play at the Madrid Masters, where he won his first-round match against Sam Querrey, but was eliminated in the second round by eventual semifinalist, Tomáš Berdych. He then played at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia, where he reached the quarterfinals with consecutive wins over two top-10 players, Richard Gasquet and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. He lost to Roger Federer in the quarterfinal. Federer said: "He obviously has a big game, unconventional shot selection at times, but really fun to watch... I’ve got to be careful."[14]

At the French Open, he reached the third round, where he was eliminated in four sets by Stanislas Wawrinka.

Jerzy Janowicz at the 2013 Wimbledon Championships.

At Wimbledon, he defeated Kyle Edmund, Radek Štěpánek and Nicolás Almagro for a spot in the round of 16 and Jürgen Melzer for a spot in his first career Grand Slam quarterfinal. He then beat fellow Pole Łukasz Kubot in straight sets, becoming the first Polish man to reach a Grand Slam semifinal. There, he was beaten by No. 2 and eventual champion Andy Murray in four sets.[15]

He did not reach quarterfinals in his next few tournaments, falling to Fernando Verdasco by retirement in Hamburg Open and Rafael Nadal in two tight sets at the Rogers Cup. Janowicz actually served for the first set. His next result was a straight-set loss to James Blake in the Cincinnati Open first round.[15]

Jerzy performed disappointingly in the US Open, falling to world No. 247 Maximo Gonzalez in straight sets, suffering from a back injury. His back injury caused him to withdraw from next few tournaments. He returned in October to reach the quarterfinals at the Stockholm Open, where he lost to Ernests Gulbis in three sets, a player he had beaten in the previous year's Wimbledon in a long five-set match. Then he traveled to Valencia, where he reached the quarterfinals as well, losing to eventual runner-up David Ferrer.[15]

Janowicz's last tournament of the year was the Paris Masters, where he had made his breakthrough the previous year. He won his opening meeting with Santiago Giraldo, but did not defend points due to his loss to top seed Rafael Nadal. Janowicz finished the season at No. 21.

2014: Foot injury, and out of top 50

Janowicz at the 2014 Winston-Salem Open

Janowicz was to partner Agnieszka Radwańska in the Hopman Cup, the annual international mixed team tournament in Perth, Australia, but was unable to do so due to a foot injury. He was replaced in the draw by Davis Cup team-mate Grzegorz Panfil.[16] Janowicz started his season at Sydney International, where he was seeded second, but lost his first match in the second round to Alexandr Dolgopolov. At the Australian Open, he beat Jordan Thompson in the first round and Pablo Andujar in the second round, before losing to Florian Mayer in the third round. After the match, Janowicz revealed that he had been playing with a broken bone in his foot, which was diagnosed during the off season.[17] Janowicz continued at the Open Sud de France in Montpellier, where he won his second-round match against Adrian Mannarino and quarterfinal match against Edouard Roger-Vasselin. He then lost in the semifinals against Richard Gasquet in a tight match.

At ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam, Janowicz beat the previous year's finalist Julien Benneteau in the first round and Tommy Haas in the second round. He was defeated by Tomas Berdych in the quarterfinals. Janowicz was due to play at Open 13 in Marseille, where he made it to the previous year's quarterfinal, but withdrew from the event to recover from a case of sinusitis. Next Janowicz played at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, where he lost to Alejandro Falla in the second round. Similarly, he was defeated by Roberto Bautista Agut in the second round at the Sony Open Tennis ATP World Tour Masters 1000 in Miami. Additionally, he made an early exit at the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters, where he failed to make it past the first round, going down in straight sets against the French veteran Michael Llodra.[18] After early losses in Barcelona, Madrid, and Rome, Janowicz concentrated on getting ready for the French Open. At Roland Garros, Janowicz defeated Victor Estrella Burgos and Jarkko Nieminen, before losing to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the third round.

Prior to Wimbledon, Janowicz played at Halle Open in Germany and at the Boodles Challenge in Buckinghamshire, England. At Wimbledon, he defeated Somdev Devvarman and Lleyton Hewitt, before losing to Tommy Robredo in five sets. This third-round loss to Robredo would mean a loss of 610 ranking points, and a significant drop in ranking, bringing him down to No. 51. Following Wimbledon, Janowicz competed at the Swedish Open in Bastad, where he was forced to retire in the first round due to a left foot injury. Subsequently, he entered the German Open Tennis Championships in Hamburg, where he was defeated by Alexandr Dolgopolov in the second round.

Janowicz began his US Open Series campaign at the Rogers Cup in Toronto, where he fell to Canadian wildcard Peter Polansky. At the 2014 Western & Southern Open, he defeated qualifier Teymuraz Gabashvili and Grigor Dimitrov, before losing to Julien Benneteau in the third round. After Cincinnati, Janowicz continued at Winston-Salem Open, where he defeated Carlos Berlocq, Joao Sousa, Edouard Roger-Vasselin, David Goffin, and Sam Querrey, before losing to Lukas Rosol in the final, despite having two championship points in the third set. Janowicz won his first career match at the US Open, defeating Dušan Lajović, before losing to 18th seed Kevin Anderson in four sets. He next participated at the Moselle Open in France, where he defeated Adrian Mannarino and Jarkko Nieminen, before losing to Gaël Monfils in the quarterfinals. He continued at the China Open, where he was defeated by Andy Murray in the first round.

Janowicz at the 2015 French Open

Janowicz started 2015 season by teaming up with Agnieszka Radwańska to win the Hopman Cup, Poland's first title in the event. Janowicz and Radwanska claimed their first Hopman Cup title after they beat the top-seeded USA team 2–1 in a final mixed doubles match over the Americans Serena Williams and John Isner.[19] Janowicz continued at the Sydney International, where he defeated Nick Kyrgios, before losing to Leonardo Mayer in the second round. At the Australian Open Janowicz defeated Hiroki Moriya in his opening match, followed by a defeat of 17th seeded Gaël Monfils in the second round, coming back from two sets to one down to make the third round for the third year in a row.

2016: Knee Injury and Rio Summer Olympics

Jerzy Janowicz at U.S. Open 2016

Jerzy Janowicz began his season at the 2016 Australian Open where he faced John Isner in the first round. He lost in straight sets. Subsequently, due to an ongoing struggle with a knee injury he was forced to withdraw from all of the tournaments in February.

In March, Janowicz was originally expected to play Poland’s first ever Davis Cup World Group tie, but two days before the event he had to undergo tests on his injured knee. In the end, he was forced to miss the tie, and Poland ended up losing to Argentina 3-2. Due to the injury, Janowicz missed both the Masters 1000 events in Indian Wells and Miami. The knee injury is yet another in a long line for Janowicz. A back injury initially stopped his climb towards the top of the tennis world in 2013. A foot injury followed in 2014 that saw all of his progress undone. With the knee injury and unable to play during the first 6 months of the season Janowicz managed to stay on the edge of the top 100 ATP ranking while maintaining his frozen ranking of No.94.[21]

In July Janowicz participated at the Open Castilla y León ATP Challenger Tournament in Segovia, Spain, where he lost to Luca Vanni in the first round. Following the match Janowicz stated: "I have been out for eight months and I haven't touched the racket for five months". He also added that he hoped of not injuring his knee again during the match.[22]

In August, Janowicz competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he lost to Gilles Muller in the first round. Janowicz came back to the ATP tour starting with the 2016 US Open (tennis). In the opening match he lost to Novak Djokovic, but managed to take a set off the defending champion before falling in a competitive match on Arthur Ashe Stadium. “It’s never easy to play against Djokovic. It doesn’t matter where or when or what shape I’m in,” said Janowicz. “I was just trying to play my best tennis. I was actually a little bit unlucky because I had quite a few chances to take the first set.”[23]

Following U.S. Open Janowicz returned to the ATP Challenger Tour. He decided to primarily play in Challengers to gain match play and rebuild confidence in his game. “My rehab was long because I got injured during last year’s US Open and then tried to play through it at the end of the season, which was quite stupid on my part,” he said. “The doctors said it wouldn’t be easy to come back and there was a chance I might not be able to, but I was still hoping to get better. Now, I’m just trying to get back in shape again.” To improve his game Janowicz chose to compete at the Challenger event in Genova, Italy. Showing that his knee can withstand plenty of time on court, he prevailed in a long three-set match over Lorenzo Sonego.[24] He then defeated No. 2 seed Horacio Zeballos, Gianluca Mager, Carlos Berlocq and Nicolas Almagro to win his first tournament of the season. Next Janowicz participated in the Pekao Szczecin Open Challenger tournament in his homeland Poland before competing at the Open d'Orléans in France, where he was a finalist last year. He ended the season with the ATP Challenger tournament in Mons, Belgium, and year end ranking of No. 272.

Davis Cup

In 2009 Janowicz played a major role in Poland's 3–2 Davis Cup win over Great Britain at Liverpool's Echo Arena. Janowicz defeated Daniel Evans but lost to World No. 4 Andy Murray. In 2013 Jerzy Janowicz won the decisive fourth rubber for Poland with Slovenia to secure a Europe/Africa Zone Group I second round tie against South Africa. Janowicz fended off early resistance to defeat Grega Žemlja in straight sets at Centennial Hall in Wrocław. Earlier Janowicz won with Blaž Kavčič, with the final tie result at 3–2 to Poland.

Playing style

Jerzy Janowicz is known for his powerful groundstrokes.

Janowicz possesses one of the hardest serves in the world, hitting a first serve generally between 130 and 140 mph and often hitting a second serve from 115 to 120 mph. His ball toss is extremely high, even for a man who is 6 ft 8, producing a high trajectory.[25] Janowicz also moves remarkably well considering how big he is, and hits powerful groundstrokes from the back of the court and has an excellent drop shot. He has a double handed backhand, and is known to hit hard and constantly mix up his game by hitting numerous drop shots, slices and spins.
