Jakub Mensik

Jakub Mensik, born on September 1, 2005, in Prostejov, Czechia, is a professional tennis player who has risen rapidly through the ranks. He is ranked No. 54 in singles and No. 387 in doubles as of March 2025. He achieved a career-high junior world No. 2 ranking and reached the 2022 Junior Australian Open final before falling to Bruno Kuzuhara. He turned professional shortly after and has since claimed six ITF World Tennis Tour titles, five in singles and one in doubles.

Mensik captured his first professional title in June 2022 at the M15 Bytom in Poland, partnering with Olaf Pieczkowski to win the doubles event. His breakthrough on the ATP Challenger Tour came in May 2023, when he won the Sparta Prague Open, defeating Dominik Koepfer. Mensik made his Grand Slam debut at the 2023 U.S. Open, reaching the third round before losing to Taylor Fritz. However, he is yet to win his first ATP Tour title, as of March 2025. Mensik reached his first ATP Tour final at the 2024 Qatar Open, where he was runner-up to Karen Khachanov. His biggest accomplishment of the 2025 season includes reaching the finals of the 2025 Miami Open for the first time in his career, where he will be facing Novak Djokovic.

Who is Jakub Mensik’s coach?

As of March 2025, Jakub Mensik’s coach is Tomas Josefus, according to his ATP Tour biography. Josefus has been the primary coach for Mensik since he was eight years old and was also one of the three-coach teams for Mensik between ages eight and 14, as per ATP's official website. He is available on Instagram, under the handle @tomas_josefus.

Josefus has witnessed firsthand how fast Mensik picks things up from an early age. He said to the ATP Tour:

“I think his motor learning is very fast. So if I compare it with other players, especially in this age, Jakub is learning very fast. He is a very intelligent guy.”

Moreover, Mensik learned directly from one of the Big Three, a 24-time major champion, Novak Djokovic, during a two-week training session. Ironically, Josefus claimed that Mensik, like Djokovic, is known for his "counter-attacking backhand from an open stance." Josefus also praised Djokovic's team for offering advice even outside of the training weeks.

Regarding Mensik's playing style, Josefus told the ATP Tour:

“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.”
