Last month, Majchrzak hit his career-high ranking of No. 55 at age 30. When asked to describe how he sees the game now, compared to a decade ago as a young gun trying to break through, the difference that stands out is his state of mind.
“I’m still getting more relaxed on court, which allows me to use more of my abilities, making my opponents’ life difficult on court. So I believe what I’m looking for is this calmness so I can use my skills as much as possible,” Majchrzak explains.
“Which, at the age of 20, wasn’t as obvious for me. That’s the biggest change. I play much more aggressive and have much more play in my hands. I still believe I have a couple of years ahead of me, just like Novak!”
Majchrzak, of course, went viral for all the right reasons at last year’s US Open. Having learned that the hat he intended for a young fan named Brock to receive was snatched by the CEO of a Polish paving company following a memorable five-set win over ninth seed Karen Khachanov, he used the power of social media to gift the boy a new hat in person.
