Can Jakub Mensik back up his breakout run in Doha with an even bigger week at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships?

The #NextGenATP Czech on Tuesday made a dramatic start to his campaign at the ATP 500 with a 4-6, 6-3, 7-6(7) triumph against Borna Coric. Having let slip a match point when serving at 5-4 in the deciding set, Mensik soon found himself match point down at 5/6 in the tie-break. He won four of the next five points from there, however, to seal his fourth Top 50 win in the space of eight days.

Mensik beat Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Andy Murray and Andrey Rublev, as well as former World No. 6 Gael Monfils, last week in Doha before falling short in two tight sets to Karen Khachanov in the championship match. Having now made a winning start on his Dubai debut, Mensik next faces a rematch with Spain’s World No. 24 Davidovich Fokina.

Despite converting just two of 14 break points he earned against Coric, according to Infosys ATP Stats, the 18-year-old Mensik held firm for a two-hour, 54-minute triumph in which he sent down 18 aces.

On Monday, Mensik climbed into the Top 100 of the Pepperstone ATP Rankings off the back of his Doha run. Following Tuesday’s triumph against Coric, the big-serving Czech, who is up eight spots to No 79 in the Pepperstone ATP Live Rankings, will play for a spot in his maiden ATP 500 quarter-final in just his fourth tour-level event.

His opponent Davidovich Fokina earlier booked his second-round spot in the U.A.E. with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 win against Fabian Marozsan.

#NextGenATP star Jakub Mensik will look to continue his breakthrough season at this month's BNP Paribas Open. The tournament announced on Friday that the Czech is one of five players to receive a wild card into the season’s first ATP Masters 1000 event.

The 18-year-old, who last week became the youngest finalist in Doha tournament history, holds the top spot in the PIF ATP Live Race to Jeddah. Mensik will make his ATP Masters 1000 debut in Indian Wells, where he joins Brandon Nakashima, Aleksandar Kovacevic, Patrick Kypson and Fabio Fognini as wild cards.

Nakashima has enjoyed a red-hot two months on the ATP Challenger Tour, boasting a 19-5 record at that level in 2024, including a title run in Tenerife. The California native will be joined by countrymen Kovacevic, who broke into the Top 100 in January, and Kypson, the 24-year-old who claimed his first tour-level victory in Delray Beach en route to the quarter-finals.

On the WTA side, the BNP Paribas Open awarded main draw wild cards to Venus Williams, Caroline Wozniacki, Emma Raducanu, Paula Badosa, Karolina Pliskova, Amanda Anisimova, Ashlyn Krueger and McCartney Kessler.

Mensik's momentum continues, captures first Masters 1000 win

Spoiler:

Jakub Mensik’s breakthrough season hit a new milestone Thursday.

The 18-year-old defeated South Korea’s Seongchan Hong 6-3, 6-4 at the BNP Paribas Open, marking the Czech's first main-draw victory at ATP Masters 1000 level.

Despite making just 48 per cent of his first serves throughout the one-hour, 19-minute opening-round match, Mensik won 24 of 29 points behind his hefty first delivery to defeat the 26-year-old qualifier, who was also making his ATP Masters 1000 debut.

Mensik, who is in first place in the PIF ATP Live Race to Jeddah, is among five #NextGenATP players remaining in the Indian Wells main draw. The World No. 81 will look to build upon his early-season momentum in a heavy hitting second-round clash against 16th seed Ben Shelton.

The wild card Mensik arrived in Indian Wells just two weeks removed from a dream run in Doha, where he became the youngest finalist in tournament history. He is aiming for his maiden trip to the Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF, which runs from 18-22 December in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
