Jakub claimed his first ATP title over his idol and mentor Novak Djokovic, toppling the legend 7-6, 7-6 in the final after a massive battle. Thus, he added 1000 ATP points to his tally and passed 30 rivals on the ATP ranking list to find himself in top-25.

Novak Djokovic fell in the final round of the Miami Open to 19-year-old Jakub Mensik in straight sets, 7-6, 7-6, on Sunday. Mensik, playing in his first final, earned his spot after defeating No. 3 seed Taylor Fritz in the semifinals and became the second-youngest champion in tournament history, per ATP Tour.

The Czech returned home to Prostejov and decided to skip Monte Carlo and recover his energy ahead of the new challenges. Mensik entered the Miami Open ranked 54th. He almost withdrew from the event due to physical issue.
