Jerzy Filip Janowicz Jr. (Polish pronunciation: [ˈjɛʐɨ jaˈnɔvʲitʂ];[2] born 13 November 1990) is a Polish inactive professional tennis player and padel player. Janowicz is best known for becoming the first Polish man to reach a major semifinal, at the 2013 Wimbledon Championships. Noted for his very powerful serve, Janowicz can hit at up to 249 km/h (155 mph) along with strong groundstrokes. Despite never winning an ATP Tour title, Janowicz obtained a career-high world ranking of No. 14 in August 2013.[3] He was awarded the Gold Cross of Merit by Polish President Bronisław Komorowski in 2013 for his achievements.[4] 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 highest-ranked male Polish tennis player.
