Jakub Mensik burst into the scene at the 2023 US Open when he was just 17, and there, he had reached the third round. And since then he has been a consistent performer on the ATP Tour.

Carlos Alcaraz said he has no doubt that top-ranked Jannik Sinner is the best player in the world as the two young players continue to lay the foundations for an epic rivalry. Alcaraz, the 21-year-old world No.
