Jerzy Janowicz hopes he can break into the top 10 one day – Tennis News
Poland’s Jerzy Janowicz fell only one step short of winning the BNP Paribas Masters event in Paris last week. That amazing run has made the Polish player’s spirit to go high and now he is aiming to break into the top 10 players
on the ATP World Tour.
When Janowicz had started this season outside the top 200 players in the world, not even he would have thought in his wildest dreams that he would be among the best 30 at its end. In result of his superb run at the Paris Masters,
the Polish national has attained his career best ranking of number 26 in the world in this week.
Janowicz is not from a financially sound family that is why he faced problems travelling on the tour. The 21-year-old did not have enough money to bear expenses of a full tour, so he used to choose his tournaments keeping this
in his mind. However, the Lodz, Poland resident would not face such problems after this Paris run, as he has earned good amount of money and also his new ranking would help him to enter the main draw directly.
In a recent interview, Janowicz said, "I have just become a top-30 player so I think I will not have to worry any more about money and I will have good opportunities to fight for an even better ranking."
Janowicz would not have to feature in the qualifying rounds now, plus he will receive seed and bye at almost all the events.
The Polish player added, "I'm going to be seeded in Australia, that is a huge help. In the small ATP tournaments sometimes I will have a bye in the first round. This is a good opportunity to work even harder and to fight for everything.
Maybe one day I will become a top-10 player in the world."
He went on to say, "Right now I cannot relax. I just have to keep my focus all the time because there is a good opportunity to become even stronger."
Janowicz stunned five top-20 ranked rivals in consecutive matches at the BNP Paribas Masters.
