Encyclopedic overview

Jerzy Filip Janowicz Jr. ( Polish pronunciation: [ˈjɛʐɨ jaˈnɔvʲitʂ]; born 13 November 1990) is a Polish former professional tennis player and current padel player. Janowicz is best known for becoming the first Polish man to reach a major semifinal, at the 2013 Wimbledon Championships. Despite never winning an ATP Tour title, Janowicz obtained a career-high singles ranking of world No. 14 in August 2013. He also achieved a doubles best ranking of No. 47 in the same month of that year.

Having finished as runner-up at two junior major tournaments, Janowicz rose to prominence on the pro circuit leading up to and following his run to the final, as a qualifier, of the 2012 Paris Masters, during which he defeated five top-20 players such as Andy Murray and Janko Tipsarević. Despite losing to David Ferrer in the finals, he made his top-30 debut in the ATP rankings and became the Polish No. 1.
