Jakub Mensik still won't be able to play his desired match against Carlos Alcaraz, after being eliminated in the semifinals of the ATP Doha by Arthur Fils and following his victory over Jannik Sinner in the quarterfinals (7-6(3), 2-6, 6-3). Despite his success with the Italian, the Czech player believes that there is still a long way to go for him and the rest of the circuit to reach the level of the world's top two: "Sinner and Alcaraz are the best in the world. After them, there is no one; then there is the rest. Our job is to try to catch up with Jannik and Carlos and follow in their footsteps, because what they're doing is fantastic...," confessed the world number 13.
