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.

Jakub Mensik will play his idol Novak Djokovic in the Miami Open final. Mensik has one career loss to Djokovic, whom he describes as his idol. It happened last year, in a three-set bout, at Shanghai in the quarterfinals.

“New blood is coming,” Jakub Mensik says of the ATP’s upstart brigade The 19-year-old Czech has joined the revolt in Miami, with his first run to a Masters 1000 semi. His serve alone makes him a threat to do more in 2025 https://t.co/ZG9yIszwcY
