This board

He was kinda robbed of the first set. His outburst is being shown on the national news now. That ball he was upset at looked pretty far out

[LarryZhang]

he has some good tennis skills for sure

but i personally don't wanna see him being in the top 10
he acted like a monster yesterday...

and it's way too soon to say that he's better than del potro n berdy...

[Marius_Hancu]

I'd like to have him get a GS, then talk about him being better than Delpo.

[kalyan4fedever]

He will b vanished info oblivion 6 months frm now

[TheCanadian]

I like his personality. He's emotional, a fighter, and seems like a really good guy. I really hope he makes it big in pro tennis.

I guess you haven't seen him playing yesterday. This guy is a monster from every place on the court. And he just turned 22. If only he can keep mental composure, he has weapons to beat anyone

[jaggy]

he is growing on me

[RogerRacket111]

Lost 2 sets to Somdev Devvarman don't think he is that great

[augustobt]

He didn't lost the first. 9-8 up in the tie and a clearly out ball from the Indian was called good. In the second, it was just a reflex of his head that obviously gone away.

In the third, he fought back, than in the fourth he opened up the bakery. In the fifth, Somdev did it "a la Rafa" and requested several MTO.

[Relinquis]

he's good, but not int he league of the players mentioned. long way to go. the higher up you are the tougher it is to move up in rankings.

the good thing about yesterday's match is that he managed to get back on track after his meltdown. that's a good factor.

let's see what he looks like against Almagro, a player far ahead of him in the rankings.

Too early for this for god's sake. Certainly has the heart to go far. Will he? We'll see.

[BrooklynNY]

He is by far the most athletic big man to come up as of yet - I think.

He has alot of potential, hopefully he can maintain and improve his level.

[Doubles]

He's good, but not even close to delpo.

[stringertom]

Much more upside to his game than any of the young candidates to challenge the Big 5 (current slam winners club). His growth curve, from juniors to ATP, was very shallow until the last half of '12 but it all seems to be gelling now.

His recovery from two sets down last night speaks loudly of his mental strength. Granted, it was a hole partly dug by himself but a lot of youngsters would have continued the tantrum all the way to the locker room. He got his composure back and walked off winning a match that might have crushed the momentum he's gaining.

He needs to avoid any more long matches, especially if the weather heats up. He's in the dubs draw so he's got a lot of court time ahead of him.

[single_handed_champion]

He's pretty awesome and shows sick touch with drop shots and occasionally volleys, but this is a crucial year for him. He caught fire at one big tournament last fall and is suddenly a seeded player, meaning he is expected to win 2-3 matches per tournament. He'll have to do it easier than this for sure.

He is a nice guy, seems very humble in interviews (talks a lot about how it was a financial burden playing until 2012), but I get the sense he is still very raw and the grind of the tour might be emotionally difficult to handle at first. Might not be ready to contend for the biggest prizes for another 2-3 years. If he makes it at this level until then, he is a keeper.

He can do big things in the ATP, really big things. Gimelstob even said JJ's potential is "limitless. He can hurt you from any part of the court."

I don't think JJ is another fly by night Rosol, this guy can dominate. Janowicz is a very scary player. What do you think?

The best description of Jerzy yet.

Del Potro just slaughtered his opponent yesterday, haven't seen Janowizc do that yet. I don't even know if he'll ever be as good those two, but he certainly isn't now. You've got to understand he has an everything or nothing style of play, usually not the kind of style you see at the top, for obvious reasons.

Agree.. I'm becoming a huge fan/believer in Jerzy's game and potential, but no way he's on Delpo's and Berdych's heels just yet. Especially Delpo, who appears back to true beast form.

After getting so wowed by Jerzy in Paris (epic potential film title, there), Jerzy in Melbourne has shown he still has some growing to do. He's gotten off to sluggish starts in both of his early rounds, and to me has looked a bit more sluggish than how he looked in Paris.

Is this a fact? Or merely an opinion?

At *least* that.

People make me tired, with their Instant Overhype.

.......His idol is Federer..........

[tudwell]

He's got a lot of tools for a guy his size, but he needs to play with more intention. He criminally overuses the drop shot. It's good he's got such a good one because it'll come in very handy when he bullies people 15 feet behind the baseline with his huge groundies, but he doesn't need to use it every other point. I like his willingness to come to net, too, and of course he has a killer serve. If he reign things in a bit and play a little less wildly, he might break into the top ten with the likes of Berdych and Del Potro, but right now I wouldn't say he's better than them.
