Djokovic Mensik Miami

Jakub Mensik surprised everyone by winning the Miami Masters 1000. In the post-match press conference, the Czech player shared his thoughts on the final.

He said: "I think it will take me some time to process all of this. Right now, what happened to me is unbelievable.

Winning two tie-breaks against Novak is insane, and it’s even more special to have faced him because it’s thanks to him that I play tennis.

When I won the last point, I felt an immense relief.

After beating Fritz, I spent almost two days without sleeping due to the stress of this final.

I think I would have really struggled to win if the match had gone to a third set.

This is the biggest success of my professional career so far, but I know my journey doesn’t stop here.

I understand this is just the beginning—I’m hungry for much more. When I get back, I’ll keep working hard because I feel I have a lot of room to improve in every aspect of my game. I want to give everything to win this kind of trophy more often."
