Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner warned of Jakub Mensik threat as ranking prediction made

With an impressive championship at the Miami Open 2025, Jakub Mensik is highly appreciated for his ability to surpass two stars Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in the future.

Former famous coach Rick Macci praised Jakub Mensik: “He has a complete game and an extremely impressive serve, reaching speeds of 209 km/h at decisive moments.

When you can serve well at the right times, it will help you reach the top 10 and I believe Mensik will be there soon. Jakub Mensik will be a threat to Alcaraz, Sinner and all the top 5 players in the near future.”

American coach Rick Macci has coached many famous tennis stars such as Serena Williams, Venus Williams and Andy Roddick, so he was impressed by what Jakub Mensik showed at the Miami Open 2025.

Jakub Mensik made history by winning the Miami Open 2025 on March 31. The 19-year-old Czech star beat Djokovic in two sets with a score of 7-6, helping him become the youngest player in history to win an ATP Masters 1000 tournament.

Before defeating Djokovic, Jakub Mensik also defeated two other players in the ATP top 10 at the Miami Open 2025, Jack Draper and Taylor Fritz. The Czech player also rose to 24th in the ATP rankings and promises to go further if he plays well in the upcoming clay court season.

Djokovic himself also highly appreciated Jakub Mensik’s class: “I’ve never been happy when I lose, but Mensik is one of the few people I don’t feel too sad about losing. I’ve been following Mensik since he was only 15 years old, I invited him to practice and was surprised at his progress.

Four years ago, I predicted that Mensik would become one of the top players in the world. He has an all-round game with a powerful and accurate serve. His backhand and movement are impressive, despite his size.

I appreciate Jakub Mensik’s fighting spirit. I have talked to his coaching staff and want to train more with Mensik, which is necessary for me. I believe Mensik has a bright future ahead.”
