Ruud loses to Mensik at the Australian Open

Casper Ruud loses to Jakub Mensik in the second round of the Australian Open.

The tournament's No. 6 seed had already battled back to defeat Jaume Munar in the first round, in five sets.

This Wednesday, the Norwegian lost 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4.

After Joao Fonseca's victory over Andrey Rublev, it's another Next Gen player who eliminates a top 10 player.

Mensik will face the winner of the match between Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the third round.
