Gojowczyk reached the quarterfinals of Halle in June, defeating World No. 9 Milos Raonic in straight sets in the second round.

He qualified for both the Australian Open and the US Open, defeating Benjamin Becker in straight sets in the first round of the latter.

2017

Gojowczyk reached the semifinals of the ATP 250 tournaments in Newport and won his maiden title at Moselle.

Playing style

Gojowczyk possesses a fast, accurate first serve and great finishing power off both wings. He has a hard-hit, "clubbed" forehand with a long takeback, similar in some ways to Xavier Malisse. His backhand is particularly solid in terms of relative groundstroke quality, opting for frequent injections of pace, whilst not shying away from the down-the-line shot.
