Jerzy Janowicz (Polish pronunciation: [ˈjɛʐɨ jaˈnɔvit͡ʂ]; born 13 November 1990) is a Polish professional tennis 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 and World No. 3 Andy Murray and World No. 9 Janko Tipsarević. The run made him the Second man to reach the final of a Masters tournament as a qualifier since Guillermo Canas 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, with a ranking of World No. 26.

His current coach is former Finnish tennis player Kim Tiilikainen.

Career

Juniors

As a junior Janowicz posted a 59–23 win/loss record and reached a combined ranking of No. 5 in the world in 2008.[1] 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.[1]

Junior Slam results:

Australian Open: QF (2008)
French Open: F (2008)
Wimbledon: 2R (2008)
US Open: F (2007)

2012

He ended 2011 ranked 221 in the world. Janowicz started off 2012 not playing in the 2012 Australian Open because he did not have enough money or sponsorship. He was the runner up of a Challenger tournament in Wolfsburg, Germany, in February. In 2012, he would go on to make it to the finals of three other Challenger tournament finals and win them all. At the 2012 French Open, he made it to the third round of qualifying, but failed to make it into the actual tournament. At the 2012 Wimbledon Championships, Jerzy made it through the three rounds of qualifying for the first time to be in the main draw of a grand slam tournament. He defeated a qualifier, Simone Bolelli, in the first round. In the second round he beat Ernests Gulbis 9–7 in the fifth in a marathon match. He lost to the 31st seed Florian Mayer in the third in a tough five setter. At the 2012 US Open, he made it directly into a Grand Slam without having to compete in the qualifying rounds. However, he lost to young American wildcard Dennis Novikov in four sets. In November 2012, Jerzy had his most incredible run to date. He made it through two rounds of qualifying to make it into the main draw of the 2012 BNP Paribas Masters, an ATP 1000 tournament. In the first two rounds, he defeated the World No. 19, Philipp Kohlschreiber, and the World No. 14, Marin Čilić, in straight sets. In the third round he faced the current Olympic Gold medalist and US Open Champion, Andy Murray. He pulled off his most remarkable win of his career, defeating Murray in three sets. In the quarterfinals he defeated World No. 9, Janko Tipsarević, to go on to play in the semifinals where he beat French countryman and World No. 20 Gilles Simon in straight sets to reach his first ATP tour-level final and become first qualifier to do so since Andrei Pavel in 2003. He was eventually defeated by fourth seed David Ferrer in two sets.[2] His run led him to the world's Top 30 for the first time in his career.

2013

Janowicz began his season at the Heineken Open in Auckland, New Zealand where he was seeded 5th, 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 Nicolas Almagro, in straight sets.

Davis Cup

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 Zemlja 7–6, 6–3, 6–3 at Centennial Hall in Wrocław. Earlier Janowicz won with Blaz Kavcic 6–3, 6–3, 7–5. Poland won 3–2.
