Personal
Polansky survived a major scare as an 18 year old. While in Mexico for a Davis Cup tie as a team hitting partner, he woke up sleepwalking and jumped or fell from a three-story room suffering serious injuries. Later he said that he saw a dark figure approaching his bed wielding a knife and only thought about escaping through the window. He recovered miraculously to be playing tennis just four months later.
Polansky has been and may still be coached by Dean Coburn.
