Watch: Janowicz's Melbourne Meltdown

Jerzy Janowicz makes his mark on the internet with his meltdown against Somdev Devvarman in the early rounds of the Australian Open.

By Erik Gudris

(January 16, 2013) -- First it was Agnieszka Radwanksa's flying racquet, then Marcos Baghdatis and his multiple racquet smashing, but now it's Poland's Jerzy Janowicz who's become a viral video sensation out of the Australian Open thanks to his meltdown moment in Melbourne. Janowicz, who played India's Somdev Devvarman in the second round yesterday, confessed later that he "lost his mind" when a Devvarman forehand was called in while the Pole was leading 9-8 in a first set tiebreak. Janowicz proceeded to yell, fall to his knees and then later argue with chair umpire Marija Cicak. Despite losing the point and the tiebreak, Janowicz went on to win the match in five sets. No word yet if Janowicz's performance will earn him a "Best Perfomance By a Male in a Comedy" nomination next year at one of the award shows.
