Interview with Anna Janowicz

Where Jerzy will get ready for the season? Will he go to the US or will practice in Lodz?

No, thee won't go to the United States this season . We considered this option oncebut in the end Jerzy decided he wanted to get ready for the season at home. He does not like to change time zones and climate, even now on vacation flew to the Canary Islands and not somewhere on the other end of the world. All organized themselves and they came out very good. There were bowling, and golf, and canoes and a little beach.

Is it all right with foot of our tennis player?

Yes, for now there's no problems or limits wich cause problems with moving on the court. We need to pray for keep it in that way. But minor ailments has appeared, now for a few days he must rest after treatment of freezing skewed mucosa of the nasal septum. Son didn't decided to have surgery.

Trenings will start in next week?

Yes. The first few days is only general development, classes with racket return at the beginning of December.

Captain Radosław Szymanik emphasizes that Jerzy Janowicz is always the first option when it comes to building our team. Is our leader will be at the disposal of the coach in 2015?

Yes,  son is ready to play, but in December the first training camp in Warsaw he won't attend as usual . We have our own tried and tested system of preparation. I must note, however, that so far none of the compound does not contacted nor with Jerzy, or us. Such things should settle as soon as possible, because I do not know if son this season's  wants to wait until the last minute. The term of the first match isn't too fortunate this season .

Meeting with Lithuania will took place from 6-8 March.

Just before the outlet to Indian Wells, it would have to be delayed. It is known that the son and coaches are building the callendar before. We already know that there may be changes.

What changes?

The first three starts  Hopman Cup is Sydney and the Australian Open. They are certain. What next, Jerzy had not yet established. He can not fly to Montpellier, where in the previous year reached the semi-finals and play in Rotterdam and Marseille. To Dubai, he won't choose for sure. As I said at the outset - in this part of the season, not the direction, not the one part of the world. Now it's important to explain and clarify all matters with PZT.

Interview with parents of Jerzy Janowicz

- As you can hear opinions that Jerzy Janowicz is a star of the only one  tournament and he won't achieve anything anymore. It makes you laugh or you get angry?

Anna Janowicz: - It doesn't makes we laugh at all. It hurts us. We spend a lot of time to bring our son to this result. He also worked hard to get into the final in Paris, semi-finals at Wimbledon and increase to 14th place in the ranking. It hurt us that now when he have a weaker period of time we hear that it all was accidental achievements.

Jerzy Janowicz senior: - I don't understand opinion that the third round of Australian Open, Roland Garros or Wimbledon ie this year's results of our son are failures. But it's result in polish tennis about which we could only dream of. And Jerzy has achieve it, struggling with injuries and with out preparing before the season, because he had treated his foot.

- Jerzy said that he don't care about that he is now in 50th place in ranking. Is it really true?

AJ: - He doesn't want to care about that. He know that he shouldn't think about it because it makes just extra pressure. We also don't speak with him about it.
JJ: - It's matter of his health. He came back to form already. It's a few tournaments in front of him, in which he won't defend any points, so particularly one successful performance will allow him to return into first 30 places in the ranking. If only his health will be fine...
AJ: - I think that Jerzy doesn't worry about his position in the ranking. He worries about his health. Recently, unluckily it happened because when he was getting back to form, he had got some injury. First: injury of spine, then cracked bone in his foot. Is teasing him also elbow injury which lasts long time. Now inflammation in his foot.

- Durning French Open Jerzy said that he also had personal problems. He didn't wanted to reveal particulars...

JJ: - And immediately one of newspaper wrote that Jerzy plays bad because we're getting divorce. It's complete nonsense, like other gossips disseminated by unkind to us people.  For example my son is playing not good because instead of practicing he's partying or he have a crisis because a girl left him.
AJ: - We know about what personal problems he was talking about but we don't want talk about it. 

- Experts often point that Jerzy need a mentor. Someone like Ivan Lendl.

JJ: - But we really want that Jerzy could work with Lendl or McEnroe. But these are huge costs, millions. Whatever, money isn't the biggest problem here. 
AJ: - Jerzy doesn't want to leave the country. He's very related with Poland and Łódź, where he have excelent conditions for training. And Lendl would come to Łódź? We get a lot of suggestions to work with different trainers, but it's all going on about that my son have to leave permanently to the United States or Monte Carlo. Currently he's going well with his trainer (Kim Tiilikainen). So we're not going to chanche anything.

- And what about double servis faults? At Wimbledon he made that 47 times in three matches. He beat competition in this statistic.

JJ: - It's because of the elbow. He's subconsciously afraid of the pain and not suitable the rotation of the ball, as usual. Although it's just our theory.
AJ: - Please believe me that we don't talk about such topics with him. At home must be the same positives. It's not like that we say: " Jerzy, maybe you serve so bad because your elbow hurts you."  We talked with a psychologist to find out how we parents of professional tennis player, should behave when the son arrives after the failure. He advised us that if he doesn't  want to talk, you absolutely should not force this on him. Sometimes it is that your son has a need to talk about the matches. It comes out from him. There are tennis players, who immediately after the failure in the locker room have to disscus with trainer the whole meeting. Jerzy isn't like that. He's going bad over failures but at the beginning he's keeping emotions inside of him. Then he often watch matches on the web and analyzes them.

- After losing with Tommy Robredo at Wimbledon he made it clear that he doesn't want to talk to the media.

AJ: - I think he is very disappointed on journalists after the press conference after the Davis Cup. The attacks on him were terribly acute, like he has commited a crime .
JJ: - That's because he prefers now to speak as little as possible. He's afraid that he'll be bad understood again.
AJ: - Jurek feels great, who journalists are acommodating for him and who don't. If my son after losing the match against Robredo at Wimbledon hears the question that is bothered him gathering darkness, when everyone knows that he has astigmatism, playing with lenses and seeing worse when it's dark, what should he answer? what sholud he say when he get question that is stopped him that suddenly when he thought that because of rain he won't play today, he was summoned in the evening on court and fought with Robredo without warming up? It's obvious that it disturbed him. He took this questions as  harassment of player who fail. Recently in one of articles about us I read that I was a basketball player, and one of the first trainers of Jerzy was  Jan Walkow. How to judge the accuracy of this journalist, since both information is incorrect? By the way, I was a volleyball player.

- Jurek said once that he cares much on the fans, and on journalists not at all. But you can't  separate these two things ...

AJ: - Yes, and he understand it well. He knows that if the redactors write negatively about him, his bad image will arrive to his fans. I think that Jurek has also grief about that if he lose, the media are giving a negative atmosphere. Instead information about the failure and reliable analysis, fall such slogans as "disgrace", "disaster", "failure".

- The same thing said Agnieszka Radwanskadefending Jerzy.

AJ: - Exactly. Agnieszka learned how to contact with the media. Some things still surprise Jerzy. The situation is exacerbated through the conference on the Davis Cup. Earlier he had  good relation with journalists, with many of them still have good relation. I think he's worried that it went so far . One thing I want to emphasize: I do not want to go to war with the media and the son also does not want that. This war makes no sense.

- People take it  differently, that the father  is also vice-president of the Polish Association of Tennis. You can hear voices that he is in the PAoT just to pull out benefits for his son ...

AJ: - Just what benefits? What we can for Jurek PAoT out? Son needs now only health, peace, and nothing more. We wanted to share their knowledge with others, because this route has already passed. We have something more than experience an activist or manager.
JJ: - We know what must be done to children who have a chance to be the successors of Agnieszka, Jurek and Łukasz Kubot, had easier way, how to select the training, tournaments. I don't have a relationship with a penny. I work for free, I don't have an official phone for meetings or competitions I reach for his. Now we can afford it, and I prefer that the money went to the children. In Lódź therefore spared compared with the previous authorities 20,000 zloty a year. As a result, more went to the youngest tennis players.

- Speaking of funding. When Jurek criticized the policy of the state with respect to athletes, sports minister Andrzej Biernat said that Janowicz is a terrible ingrate, because if you could take all the money that he got from the state, would be accrued a substantial amount.

JJ: - Money, which the minister said, is a drop in the ocean. And all that son got from the state, and gave it a surplus, paying taxes. He could like other tennis players to go to a tax paradise in Monte Carlo and there to settle. But he does not want to do because he is a patriot.
AJ: - For example, the Australian Open can pay tax in Australia, or add up the costs, and thus settle in their homeland. Jurek did so. Why is this tax to leave for abroad when he can pay it in Poland? Maybe some of this money will get young tennis players.

#RG14 Jerzy Janowicz second round

Jerzy Janowicz - Jarkko Nieminen 7-6(7-4) 7-6(7-4) 6-4

Wypowiedź Jerzego Janowicza po wygranym meczu:

- Z Jarrko gra się niezwykle ciężko, bo jest niezwykle doświadczonym zawodnikiem, wie kiedy i co zagrać, wchodzi w kort, gra niezwykle równo cały mecz. Musiałem zagrać swój najlepszy tenis, by ten pojedynek wygrać. To wcale nie był łatwy mecz dla mnie, bo jak wiecie znamy się doskonale..

Czy taki pojedynek dodaje Ci pewność przed kolejnymi meczami na Roland Garros?

- Tu trzeba być być przygotowanym na sto procent do każdego meczu i grać na całego. Z Tsongą już grałem, więc wiem czego się spodziewać. Szczerze mówiąc to przed meczem obawiałbym się bardziej Nieminena niż Tsongi, bo Fin to mój dobry kolega i wiem jak ciężko się z nim gra, a on zna doskonale mnie. Nawet prowadząc można się spodziewać, że nagle może się wszystko odwrócić, bo on gra do końca o każdą piłkę. A Tsonga niczym mnie nie zaskoczy.

Czeka cię mecz na korcie centralnym, gdzie będziesz miał przeciw sobie publiczność. Nie obawiasz się tego trochę?

- Francuzi wspierają swoich, to dość logiczne. Miałem już z tym do czynienia, w 2012 roku w hali Bercy podczas półfinału z Simonem. Ale ja mam się skupić na sobie i nie zajmować się rywalem czy publicznością.

Z kim łatwiej ci się gra – z kimś dobrze ci znanym czy z „no-name”?

- Zdecydowanie wolę znać przeciwnika i wolę wiedzieć czego mogę się po nim spodziewać. Jeśli kogoś nie znam, to logiczne, że nie wiem co może mnie z jego strony spotkać. Inna sprawa, że Jarkko to mój kolega i choćby dlatego takie mecze mogą być ciężkie…

Czy dziś, w trzecim secie to był już taki Janowicz jaki powinien być? Ilu procent brakowało do tego najlepszego Janowicza?

- Nie wiem… Nie mam zamiaru spekulować ile mi jeszcze brakuje. Wygrałem i cieszę się z tego powodu. Staram się grać jak najlepiej i już. Ostatnio mi się to nie udawało, teraz jest lepiej, ale nie każcie mi tu spekulować ile jeszcze mi brakuje. Pewne jest, że wychodząc na kort robię wszystko co mogę, by wygrać…

Z których aspektów swojej gry jesteś dziś zadowolony?

- Z tego, że wygrałem… (śmiech). To jest dla mnie najważniejsze. Potrzebuję zwycięstw i one są dla mnie teraz najważniejsze. Można grać pięknie, ładnie i można przegrywać. Ja potrzebuję teraz zwycięstw.

Sprawiałeś wrażenie mocnego psychicznie. Wychodziłeś kilka razy z sytuacji 0-40, 0-30. Z czego czerpiesz siłę w takich sytuacjach?

- Trudne pytania dziś mi zadajecie… (śmiech). Nie wiem… staram się grać jak najlepiej. Czasem jest z górki, czasem pod górkę… Zdarza się różnie w tenisie… Dziś widać było z górki…

Czy wraz z twoim trenerem Kimem Tiilikainenem będziecie przygotowywać się w jakiś specjalny sposób do meczu z Tsongą?

- Klasyczna godzinna drzemka. To będzie przygotowanie do meczu…

Jak to było z twoim startem w deblu? Miałeś tu zagrać?

- Byłem zgłoszony z Mateuszem Kowalczykiem, ale raczej chodziło o to by on znalazł partnera po moim wycofaniu się. Nie planowałem zagrać tu w debla…

Śledzisz to co dzieje się w turnieju kobiecym? Aga jest teraz najwyżej rozstawioną zawodniczką…

- Bardzo dobrze, czym więcej takich niespodzianek, tym lepiej dla Agnieszki. Co prawda do wygrania turnieju jeszcze jej dużo brakuje, ale ona spokojnie wychodzi na kort i robi swoje i kto wie, może właśnie tu wygra swojego pierwszego Wielkiego Szlema.

#RG14 Jerzy Janowicz first round.

Jerzy Janowicz - Victor Estrella 6:1, 6:4, 6:7 (6-8), 6:4

Wypowiedź Jerzego Janowicza po wygranym meczu:

- Miło jest wrócić do wygrywania. Wygrałem w pierwszej rundzie i to jest dla mnie bardzo ważne. Czuję się dobrze, ciężko trenowałem, mam kondycję na tego wielkiego szlema. Ten mecz doda mi pewności siebie. Już nie mogę się doczekać drugiej rundy. Jestem nabuzowany. Zawsze jestem zmotywowany, zawsze walczę niezależnie od tego, w jakiej jestem sytuacji. Zawsze chcę wygrać. Wiedziałem, że te złe chwile wkrótce się skończą i tak też się stało.

- W ogóle go nie znałem, nigdy nie widziałem, jak gra. Ale przeciwnik nie ma większego znaczenia dla mnie. Muszę być skupiony na swojej grze.

- Ale osobiste problemy są osobiste, więc nie dowiecie się, co to za problemy.

- Zaczynało być lepiej w Madrycie i Rzymie, już zaczynałem mieć swobodną głowę. W Rzymie zabrakło mi troszeczkę szczęścia. Już wtedy grałem naprawdę bardzo dobrze, tak jak dziś w trzecim secie przy meczbolu.

- Przed pierwszą rundą Roland Garros nie stawiałem sobie żadnych celów, ale wiadomo, że z każdym meczem apetyt rośnie. Wiem, że mogę zagrać w tym turnieju bardzo dobrze, ponieważ czuję się lepiej. Na treningach jest naprawdę fajnie. Teraz trzeba tylko przełożyć to na mecze. Mam nadzieję, że to zwycięstwo pozwoli mi to przełożyć jak najlepiej. Nie ma co spekulować, ale żebym chociaż obronił punkty z tamtego roku.

Jerzy Janowicz's speech after winning the match:

- It's nice to get back to winning. I won in the first round and it is very important to me. I feel good, I trained hard, I have condition for this grand slam. This game will give me confidence. I can not wait to the second round. I'm excited. I am always motivated, always fight no matter what and what situation I am. I always want to win. I knew that the bad times will soon be over, and so it happened.

- Generally, I did not knew him, I never saw him playing. But the opponent does not matter to me. I have to be focused on my game.

- But personal problems are personal, so you won't know what kind of problems I had.

- It began to be better in Madrid and Rome, I started to have a clear head. In Rome, I ran a little bit out of luck. Even then I was playing really well, like today, in the third set at matchball.

- Before the first round of Roland Garros I didn't set itself any target, but it is known that the appetite grows by every match. I know I can play in this tournament very well, because I feel better. On the training is really good. Now you only need to move it on court. I hope that this victory will allow me to move it the best I can. There is no need to speculate, but I though to defend points from last year.

Konferencja / Conference

The question, which was addressed to Szymanik, answered this Jerzy Janowicz. 

"Maybe raising the bar too high, us simply can not afford the Group the World?"

When we do not raise the bar? In every sport we do it. We are a country in which there are no perspectives, whether in sport, in business or in private life. Students studying just to get away from this country. We train in some potholes and it's not just tennis players. Zbigniew Bródka to train, he had to leave the country. Why do you have such expectations from us? Can we come out on the court! Work whole life on the court and then keep your expectations! It already makes me laugh! Experience this what athletes are going through! There is no help! In any sport! Everyone must work hard to achieve something! I read your articles and I want to laugh. Who are you to have such expectations? What do you do to have them! Just sit and criticize! Expectations may have my coach who dedicates whole life for me and cries like losing, my mom, dad. And do not you! Hero in our country to create his entire career. A trash and zero one can create a match.
