Paris Is A Bonanza For Jerzy Janowicz

Polish qualifying surprise packet Jerzy Janowicz turned in a history-making week at the Paris Masters as the ATP moved towards the year-end final in London. The No. 69 who began the season well outside the top 200, reached weekend play through defeats of four top 20 players, including US Open winner Andy Murray and Janko Tipsarevic, both of whom are London-bound.

 

“I have played the best tennis of my life,” said the stunned winner. “I didn’t know actually I can play that good. It’s really not easy for me to realize what is going on in my life right now.”

 

The 2.02-metre tall journeyman was just another big player around the grounds until his sudden breakthrough at the Bercy arena. The 21-year-old who admits to having problems with his career earlier on, is shocked by the way a week of success changed his life.

 

“This is something unbelievable for me and for my family, they were crying after yesterday’s match and after today’s match,” he said upon reaching the semi-finals.”

 

And the performances could pay off on the bottom line for a player who has always struggled financially. “Maybe because of this win I will get some bigger sponsor because I was struggling beginning of this year and last year a little bit with the money.

 

“This year I didn’t go to Australian Open because I just didn’t have money to play this tournament, so I hope after this week my life will change a little bit, and actually it changed already.

 

“But I hope I will get some sponsors, and I will try to not think about the money for next year.”
