Eliminated in the last sixteen by the Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka, Jerzy Janowicz has kept entertaining Roland Garros' public with his antics just yet, since he was competing Monday in the men's doubles tournament. The occasion to learn that between matches, to calm his spirit, the Pole unwinds in front of his computer screen. This is one of many lessons from his internet interview. 

 

You seem pretty active on Twitter. Do you manage your account yourself?

No, it's a fake account. I don't use Twitter. Someone used my name and I really don't like it. I tried to have it deleted. The necessary steps are being taken.

 

How many times per day are you online?

Many. I'm a big geek. I got my first computer at 6 years old. I really like computers.

 

PC or Mac?

PC. I play a lot of video games on PC: Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Dead Island. Always online and multiplayer.

 

What is your nickname for your fans to find you and fight you?

OR-ZO. (Phonetic) But I don't want to spell as it is better for the fans not to find me. (Laughs) They might be disappointed.

 

What is your home page? Google?

No, tibia.pl. It's a video game website. It's an old RPG, but it's still a good game. You choose a prophecy and a character: knight or wizard, for example. And basically, you have to kill monsters. (Embarrassed laugh) Yes like that it sounds childish, but that's fine.

 

And what level have you reached in this game?

I don't play this game anymore. I go to the website just to look at the statistics of the players.

 

What's your desktop background?

The standard Windows screen. Blue, with the logo.

 

The last Facebook group you joined?

None. I'm not part of any group. I'm on Facebook just to keep in touch with my friends in Poland and elsewhere in the world.

 

What are the Top 3 sites you visit the most often?

Tibia.pl, YouTube and Facebook.

 

Do you often Google your own name?

Never.

 

Have you written on your own Wikipedia page?

No, I don't know who did it. I went to check what it said. All that was written was true except my height. They said I was 6’ 7” when I'm actually 6’ 8”!

 

We will change it for you.

I think it has been changed since.

 

What was your first nickname on the Internet?

Vampire.

 

Do you read your spam?

Not really. I delete them straightaway, like everyone else, right?

 

Is your password something simple in relation to your life or a super complex code?

I've been using the same password for 10 years. It's pretty simple. It's the name of my ex-girlfriend...
