Jakub Mensik has not had his luckiest day today. To his poor performance in his match against Arthur Fils at the ATP Next Gen Finals 2024, an unusual circumstance, almost unheard of on the circuit, has been added. He experienced this during one of the breaks in the match. After the second set, while he was on his toilet break, the Czech confessed to Nacho Forcadell that he had been asked for a doping control... in the middle of the match! Jakub recounted this with a mix of anger and disbelief, although it's unclear if the doping "vampires," likely confused about the timing, ultimately carried out their task or not.
Doping test mid match ?

Bizarre moment in the Arthur Fils vs Jakub Mensik match at the Next Gen Finals.
Mensik got told that he has to do a regular doping test while he went to toilet.
