Australian Open: Świątek podjęła decyzję
Listy zgłoszeń do Australian Open 2022 pojawiły się już parę tygodni temu. Pewne miejsce w głównej drabince mają Iga Świątek, Magda Linette, Magdalena Fręch i Hubert Hurkacz. Być może dołączy do nich Kamil Majchrzak, który jest wysoko notowany na liście oczekujących.
W Wigilię Bożego Narodzenia organizatorzy potwierdzili, że wycofał się kolejny zawodnik. To Milos Raonić. Były trzeci tenisista świata od kilku lat zmaga się z różnymi problemami zdrowotnymi. W sezonie 2021 dotarł do IV rundy Australian Open oraz Miami Open (w której przegrał z Hubertem Hurkaczem), po czym pojawił się jeszcze tylko pod koniec lipca w Atlancie.


Raonić to kolejny tenisista, który nie poleci w styczniu na Antypody. Wcześniej z gry w Australian Open 2022 zrezygnowali z różnych powodów Roger Federer, Guido Pella, Stan Wawrinka, Pierre-Hugues Herbert, Jeremy Chardy i Aljaz Bedene. Ich miejsce zajmą Denis Kudla, Feliciano Lopez, Sam Querrey i Carlos Taberner.

Majchrzak jest obecnie czwartym oczekującym do wejścia do głównej drabinki. Polak może więc zagrać w Australian Open 2022 bez konieczności przechodzenia eliminacji. Aktualnie nie jest pewne, czy do Melbourne polecą Austriak Dominic Thiem (problemy zdrowotne zakłóciły jego przygotowania do nowego sezonu) i Hiszpan Rafael Nadal (zachorował na COVID-19).

Piotrkowianin spędził okres przygotowawczy w Sztokholmie. - Już w sobotę lecę do Sydney z chłopakami. W Nowy Rok zagramy tam pierwszy mecz w ATP Cup przeciwko ekipie Grecji, więc nie będzie zbyt dużo czasu na świętowanie Bożego Narodzenia z najbliższymi, ani nawet Sylwestra. Ale mam nadzieję, że udanie rozpocznę rok 2022 na korcie. Z Sydney udam się od razu do Melbourne, gdzie zagram eliminacje do Australian Open. No chyba, że się szczęśliwie dla mnie ułoży i znajdę się w głównej drabince - powiedział Majchrzak (cytat za PZT).

Poland Off To Strong Start At ATP Cup

Spoiler:

Hurkacz to face Greek Thanos
Kamil Majchrzak handed Poland an early advantage on Saturday at the ATP Cup in its Group D tie against Greece. The World No. 117 recorded a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Michail Pervolarakis in 79 minutes on Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.

Hubert Hurkacz will now look to give Poland the tie-winning point with victory over Aristotelis Thanos. The Greek replaces World No. 4 Stefanos Tsitsipas, who is sitting courtside with a ice pack on his right elbow.

Majchrzak dominated to win eight of the first nine games, before Pervolarakis started to reap dividends by changing his court position to attack the short ball. The 25-year-old won three straight games for a 3-2 lead in the second set, but regularly found himself under pressure on deep groundstrokes out wide. Majchrzak held his nerve to make a crucial breakthrough with a forehand pass at 3-3 and didn’t look back.

"It's my first match of the year in these great conditions and it's an honour to represent my country," said Majchrzak. "When I can fight for my country, it gives me different emotions and feelings. It's great to deliver this first point for Poland today. I found my rhythm from the beginning of the match. I was very consistent and I am very happy with my performance. Even the gap at the beginning of the second set, where I led 2-0 and let him back in. That was a danger moment."

The ATP Cup format sees the No. 2 singles played first, followed by the No. 1 singles and doubles.

Majchrzak Puts Team In Pole Position vs. Georgia

Spoiler:

Earlier in the day, Kamil Majchrzak gave Poland a strong start when he dropped just two games against Aleksandre Bakshi on Ken Rosewall Arena. World No. 117 Majchrzak had too much game for World No. 974 Bakshi, winning 6-1, 6-1 in just 53 minutes.

"I was trying to move [Bakshi] around and I think that was the key to the match," said Majchrzak, who is coached by former World No. 7 Swede Joakim Nystrom.

"He brings me a lot of confidence and a lot of calm in my tennis so I can feel that I am improving,” Majchrzak said. "We are working on [developing an all-court game] but in a way that doesn't interrupt my baseline game. We will take it from the practice to the matches but it takes time."

Poland completed a 3-0 sweep of the tie when Szymon Walkow and Jan Zielinski defeated Aleksandre Bakshi and Aleksandre Metreveli 6-7(2), 6-2, 10-6

ATP Cup format sees the No. 2 singles played first, followed by the No. 1 singles and the doubles. Doubles uses no-ad scoring and a match tie-break in place of a third set.

Majchrzak Marches Poland To Brink Of ATP Cup Semis

Spoiler:

Hurkacz and Majchrzak, who defeated Federico Delbonis 6-3, 7-6(3) at No. 2 singles, have dropped just one set in singles this week. Poland will play the winner of Group A on Friday evening.

"Super proud of Kamil. That's the biggest win in his career. It's great in the beginning of the year. He for sure did an amazing preseason and super proud of him," Hurkacz said. "The way he competed today, the way he was resilient, even though he was a break up, then he got broken back. But he still kept being positive and fighting."

<a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/kami ... iew'>Kamil Majchrzak</a>

One of the best weeks of Majchrzak’s career has come at the perfect time for Poland. The 25-year-old moved to 3-0 at the 2022 ATP Cup on Wednesday with his win against Delbonis, who is ranked 73 places higher.

“It was very difficult. Everyone could see it. I was twice a break up in the second set and I couldn’t close the match,” Majchrzak said. “It was very connected with the emotions and with the big fight of Federico. It was a very difficult game from the beginning until the end. It was a very intense match and I’m very happy that at the end I managed to win the last point.”

Majchrzak is currently No. 117 in the ATP Rankings, but he showed no fear of World No. 44 Delbonis. He took the action to the Argentine, winning 47 per cent of his return points in his one-hour, 45-minute triumph.

“I’m trying not to look at the rankings. I was trying to look at Federico and make my plan and make my game to [find] the best possible way to beat him,” Majchrzak said. “I managed to do it. I was watching his matches, so I was ready. My ranking maybe is out of the Top 100, but I feel like I belong in the Top 100 and more, so I’m going for it now.”

Polish Power! Hurkacz & Majchrzak Send Poland Into ATP Cup Semis

Spoiler:

oland wins Group D
Poland is proving powerful at this year's ATP Cup. Hubert Hurkacz and Kamil Majchrzak finished a perfect 3-0 run through Group D on Wednesday by defeating Argentina to send their country into the semi-finals in Sydney.

Hurkacz clinched the tie for Poland with a comprehensive 6-1, 6-4 win against Diego Schwartzman. The 2021 Nitto ATP Finals competitor saved all three break points he faced to triumph after one hour and 21 minutes.

"So happy for our team, for Team Poland. We're in the semis, so super proud of that achievement," Hurkacz said. "We're a great team. We have great team spirit. We support each other. I think the atmosphere that we bring helps us play better."

The 24-year-old came out firing from the start of the match, using his big serve and staying on top of the baseline to prevent Schwartzman from finding any rhtyhm. Later in the clash, the Argentine began to dig into rallies, but Hurkacz had too much firepower. He earned the deciding break in the second set by manoeuvring his opponent from the baseline before swooping into the net for a forehand drop volley winner.

"He fights for every ball. I had a couple of chances, but he was playing pretty solid points during that break points," Hurkacz said. "You knew you have to put up something, you have to play a great shot to beat him."

Inside Majchrzak's 'Completely Unexpected Story'

Spoiler:

Learn more about Poland's No. 2 singles player
Two years ago, Kamil Majchrzak was devastated at the ATP Cup. The Polish player lost his opening match at the team competition in three sets against Argentine Guido Pella and was unable to continue in the competition. Little did he know he would not compete again for more than seven months.

Majchrzak had broken his pelvic bone.

“It was very painful for me, because it was the first edition of the ATP Cup and I was playing matches for Poland. Matches for the country are with different emotions because you don’t only play for yourself, you also play for your colleagues, for your country,” Majchrzak told ATPTour.com. “It was very emotional for me. I finished the match, but it was a bad picture at the end and I could not play another game because I was injured for half a year.”

The Pole used one word to describe the injury: nasty. Majchrzak (My-shack) believes there was not “one shock” that caused it. He believes some areas of his body were not strong enough, and that ankle braces he wore were problematic.

“I needed to take the ankle braces off,” Majchrzak said. “Of course when I was moving, I was a little bit scared at the beginning. Then every other day I was feeling better and I had to do all the physical training again and tennis preparation as well, so it was a matter of time. It was not easy, but I managed.”

Majchrzak is the No. 117 player in the ATP Rankings. But he has proven this week he is capable of playing at a higher level than that. It has just taken time to work his way back following his injury.

The 25-year-old went 3-0 at No. 2 singles in Group D to help Poland advance to the semi-finals, where the country will play Spain. Alongside Majchrzak has been World No. 9 Hubert Hurkacz. They have known each other since they were nine.

“It's great that we're doing it for our country. I mean, with Kamil, with Jan [Zielinski], with Szymon [Walkow], Kacper [Zuk], we've been seeing each other [at] the junior tournaments in Poland in some small towns and in the bubbles [that were] zero degrees celsius and now we are here,” Hurkacz said. “It's really great that we all like came for that journey and then we are here in the semi-finals right now, so it really means a lot to us.”

Majchrzak’s tennis journey did not start long before he met Hurkacz. He is the son of two school teachers with no background in tennis. The family never watched the sport on television. But a friend of Majchrzak’s mother taught tennis, so she took Kamil for a lesson when he was eight.

“I really enjoyed tennis from the first hit with my racquet,” Majchrzak said. “There was a mini tournament for the guys who started just like me, and I won it, so I said, ‘Okay I’m going to keep playing and playing and playing.’ That was it, I never stopped.”

Things were not easy for the family. There were no indoor courts nearby, so Majchrzak’s parents would drive him at least one hour each way after school just to be able to train. At nine, Majchrzak met Hurkacz.

“We’ve been practising together from time to time or playing tournaments or at least seeing each other at the tournaments from a very young age and at places where there were indoor courts that were zero degrees inside,” Majchrzak said. “Now we are here. He’s a Top 10 player in the world, so it’s a very inspiring friendship and I hope to keep it going.”

Majchrzak’s parents, Piotr and Karolina, may not have a tennis background, but according to their son, they provided him with something more important.

“They were always behind me. They were always supporting me and they always drove me there so I could practise, so I could do this,” Majchrzak said. “They were sacrificing their lives, their evenings, their weekends for the tournaments in Poland.

“All tennis players sacrifice a lot, but the parents and those around them also sacrifice the same amount of time, of passion, of everything. I’m very grateful that they gave me a shot.”


In the juniors, Majchrzak defeated current stars including Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev and Matteo Berrettini. But unlike the others, it took him longer to blossom at the professional level. In 2019, the Pole broke out by qualifying for the Australian Open, where he pushed Kei Nishikori to five sets, Wimbledon and the US Open, where he made the third round of the main draw.

That year, Majchrzak cracked the Top 100 and climbed to a career-high World No. 83. But then the injury bug struck.

Just a few months after returning late in 2020, Majchrzak was looking for a coach, and his agent connected him with former World No. 7 Joakim Nystrom. They have worked together since December 2020.

“We get along together. Of course it’s important when you travel that you also have fun and respect each other,” Nystrom said. “He’s such a nice guy, always polite, always wants to do the right thing and in the past three, four months he’s also grown in confidence. He knows he’s a good player and that he has a good chance of beating the good players as well.”

Majchrzak will hope to show that again on Friday evening, when he is scheduled to play former Top 10 star Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain. No matter what happens, it will be a far different experience than his last at the ATP Cup.

“It’s a completely unexpected story,” Majchrzak said. “But a very nice one so far.”
