As it fits agemoderately, also Juergen with eight, nine began, to hunt merrily seriously behind the balls. The large leather ball and the small felt ball. He admired Toni Polster – he shot straight a goal in Sevilla – and Stefan Edberg. In addition, the elegance and technical perfection a Michael pass impressed him. Were the years, when the Wimbledonfinale with beautiful regularity Edberg was called against Becker - and perhaps the cool Swede affected even his decision. Anyhow he followed the often expressed desire and gave to the tennis preference. Instead of ' kick off ' it meant: Impact to play, game and match.

After appropriation of the elementary knowledge in school and tennis he left with 14 the parents' house in Deutsch Wagram and moved in the boarding school into the Südstadt. Among the professors, who taught him now, was also Karl-Heinz Wetter, his new tennis coach. A connection, which held even in times of the uncertainty and "where stand I" and works satisfactorily until today. Because in tennis perhaps more than in the football the age-old thesis of a Sepp Herberger applies, which reads: the next match is always the heaviest.

The maturity examination put Juergen Melzer down in the year 2000. The certification has been expected, the existence of the maturity examination in tennis, indeed the victory in the junior final of Wimbledon, was already against it a surprise. There Juergen showed for the first time before large public, what distinguishes him and lifts him out: the Serve and Volley play, attacking. The courage to the risk is appropriate in his nature, he doesn’t wait for the errors its opponent, he wants activity.

Variable power tennis is the style of the dynamic-cool professional, who does his job with passion without bursting therefore before ambition. A certain casualness protects him in delicate situations at the court of oppressing nervousness.

For two years there is a Juergen Melzer Fanclub, for years it goes continuously upward. Step for step he approaches the goal, which his coach and he sat down. And this goal is not any rank list point place, but reads simply: Play still better tennis.

Everything else comes automatically.
