Command Analysis
Jakub Mensik
Czech RepublicCurrent form
Menshik lost to Arthur Fils (2-4, 3-4, 2-4) in the second round of the Next Gen ATP Finals group stage. Jakub hit two aces, converted one break point and lost three games on his serve against the Frenchman. The Czech has five wins and four losses indoors this season.
Professional qualities
Menshik strives to combine technical and power aspects in his game, but so far he has not achieved a clear advantage in either area. Jakub has a powerful serve, but he rarely comes to the net, which seems like a missed opportunity given his height. In rallies, the Czech tennis player relies on strong shots with both hands, but their accuracy leaves much to be desired.

Menshik is currently ranked 48th in the world. Yakub has no tournament wins this season, but he has played two finals. In January, he reached the final at the Canberra tournament, and in February, he played in the final match at the Doha tournament, where he lost to Karen Khachanov.
