Janowicz's actual interview. (No political discussions please)

[Sid_Vicious]

I found this on twitter. https://twitter.com/juanjo_sports/st...17078159736832

Those old translations were pretty bad; some of Janowicz's quotes were not even his words



Let's keep it clean guys. The mods deleted the thread yesterday because it got ugly.

So instead of Djokovic fans hating Federer fans will now hate him, haha.

[CMM]

I like the answer to the second question.

And Nadal fans will love him

[Relinquis]

Jerzy's great. Want to see more of him.

Yes, I like Federer too.

[Tennis_Hands]

Seems to have very "down-to-еarth" attitude. Good player too.

[Hitman]

We shall follow his career with great interest...

Yeah, some posters (in all fanbases) are utterly predictable in their responses depending on whether the person interviewed paints their favourite player in positive or negative light.

Personally, I really liked Janowicz's game (his touch and movement especially) from what I've seen from him in Paris last year and while some may see this interview as being borderline trash talking, I think tennis could use more of that and prefer it to drone PR responses (even though I largely disagree with his views).

As long as he also walks the walk, tennis could really use more promising young guns at the moment, that was always one of the most exciting part of tennis for me as a viewer (new balls generation at the beginning of 2000s, Nadal beating Fed in 2004 Miami, Novak reaching 2006 FO QF, Murray beating Fed in 2006 Cincy etc.).

I don't get how the two translations can be so different. Looks like someone is trolling through twitter.

Im a Nadal and Djocovic fan, what should I do in this instance.

[Pwned]

When did Federer say "is ok"? I don't recall him saying anything like that.

Haha so true. Personally I have no problem with Janowicz, he's entitled to his opinion after all. I wish him the best, hopefully he can do something again this year. I think we're all becoming a bit desperate for someone else to breakthrough really .

[steenkash]

I always thought Delpo, was the breakthrough. But it ended after his injury.

I think janowicz is stating just the obvious -Novak is fake and plastic, Federer is unnatural.

[tennis_pro]

Good thing that he's got his own opinion but I wouldn't want to make enemies on tour so early if I was his age, especially Djokovic (even tho I agree he's fake).

[Towser83]

Sort of refreshing to see someone just say what they like but maybe not clever pr wise.

[always_crosscourt]

All you guys saying Djokovic is fake - how exactly does a 'real' person act, then?

Murray? Everyone knows how much Murray is hated.

no it didnt

[librarysteg]

I'm a fan of the entire Top 4, and Jerzy, and I take no offense to anything he's said. I hope he continues to speak his mind. More than anything, I hope his game continues to come together so he can hang onto and rise a little in the rankings. I think he's playing in Rotterdam. Let's hope he make it far in the tournament and gives us a few good sound bites along the way.
