Jakub Mensik, that new boy in the ATP circuit

No, dear reader.

It will not be so simple.

If someone interprets that Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will take command of Tennis ad eternum, now that Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have gone, now that Novak Djokovic is giving the latest layers, then it is wrong: in the ATP circuit, the transfer of powers will be a mess, a mess of names and applicants that will be regenerating and remastered.

Here we have, for example, Jakub Mensik.

“It hurts to admit it, but you have been better,” said Novak Djokovic (37) to the Czech adolescent (19) in the wet Night of Miami, Sunday’s. And this will be the first of many successes.

(The Czech had lying him 7-6 (4) and 7-6 (4), a feat before the king of the tie-breaks; no one like Djokovic is handled in that state of emergency).

Djokovic spoke hurt, because he had just escaped a 1,000 masters and the possibility of reaching the hundred titles of the ATP circuit, but he also spoke conscientiously: he had already warned these days, attentive to Messik.

(In fact, the Serbian has been following for months.

The big jump

In a week and a half, the Czech has jumped thirty seats in the ranking, from 54th to 24.ª

And now that’s. The student has surpassed the teacher. Mesik has already exploded. Let’s memorize the last name. Because from Sopeton, it is already the 24th racket of the world: in a week and a half and seven games, the Czech has jumped thirty places in the ranking.

So who does not know him from now on is because he does not want.

There is another example: three days ago, when I barely played the round of 16 of Miami, Mesik had 44,000 followers on Instagram. Yesterday afternoon, when I checked his account, I already walked for 79,200 and climbing.

(And I also: I understand that from now on I must follow him on social networks).

(…)

Everything we expect from Mesik, with its 1.93m tall and its powerful service, emerged on Miami night. We saw a tennis player who did not wrinkle, even in that stage, not even before such a colossus.

“When Lendl played, I wasn’t even born.” He was an inspiration. But my generation follows more what Berdych and Radek Stepanek did –I told Sebastián Varela days ago for Digital Clay.

The invitation

Three years ago, Djokovic invited Messik to Serbia and Montenegro: for days, they ball together

Catorce Aces endorsed the Serbian, near the average of 18.5 he had registered in the tournament. It came to serve 220 km/h. It took 77% of the points he played with his first serve. Signed 29 Winnersfor the 22 of Djokovic. And he did not wrinkle in the Tie Breaks, where Djokovic is handled like Los Angeles. He won both sudden deaths.

– It’s fine with this title. But it’s not about winning a single title or a single tournament. I still have 19, my whole career is coming – I later said the press in Florida.

And thus corroborated what weeks ago had already declared Varela:

–My ambition is to be number one and win the four Grand Slams.
