Recent form
In the news
“"Jakub is an aggressive baseliner for sure. His game style is really aggressive and is trying to put pressure on his opponent with taking time away. That's probably the signature of Jakub's game."”
Playing style
Mensik is an aggressive baseliner who relies on a massive first serve averaging 130 mph to dictate points and take time away from opponents. His counter-attacking backhand from open stance stands out, complemented by solid short-point play, but he struggles in extended rallies where his forehand lacks potency and second serve is vulnerable at 95 mph with high double-faults. Dangerous on hard courts with precise placement and power, he forces tiebreaks against top players.
