German Tennis Championships: Players to watch out for

4) Jerzy Janowicz

After a splendid showing at SW19, Polish number 1 Jerzy Janowicz would be confident of going the distance at the German Tennis Championships.

The Pole could be up against Wimbledon quarterfinalist Fernando Verdasco in the round of 16. The Spaniard showed enough determination and skill in his quarterfinal clash against eventual champion Andy Murray at Wimbledon, and could certainly upset the Pole in the 3rd round encounter.

A possible quarterfinal clash with Spaniard Tommy Robredo or Frenchman Jeremy Chardy awaits the Polish number one. If he gets through these matches, the Pole could come face-to-face with 2007 champion Roger Federer in the last 4.

Everything considered, the Pole would have some difficult opponents en route to the final and would have to rely on his big serves to get him through the tournament.
