Mensik, Berdych, and a premonitory photo that could be unforgettable

Since the retirement of Tomas Berdych, Czech tennis has been looking for a successor to carry the leadership of this prolific tennis nation. Jiri Lehecka and Tomas Machac emerged as strong candidates, but it has been Jakub Mensik who, at just 19 years old, has once again lifted a major title. It seems as if, as if it were a movie script, he was destined for this: in the last hours, a photo has circulated on social media of Tomas and a very young Jakub, specifically in Prostejov, at the Challenger in his hometown. A photo that demonstrates the love for tennis from a young age of the recent Miami champion... and, perhaps, a photo that may become prophetic and mark the changing of the guard in Czech tennis.

This is an automatic translation. You can read the original news, Mensik, Berdych y una foto premonitoria que podría ser inolvidable
