We analyze the reasons why a golden generation could be forming in the world of tennis, with numerous players full of potential and already established in the elite.
Jakub Mensik
The third set between Alexander Zverev and Jakub Mensik began when the clock struck almost one in the morning. Similar to what had happened in previous days, when the last match of the day at the Madrid Open went past midnight, most of the audience at Manolo Santana decided to leave due to the untimely hours at which the match was being played. The stadium looked almost empty in a striking image that reflects what Sinner criticized this morning, acknowledging that having two night matches starting at 8:00 p.m. was too much and that something like this could happen.

The sponsorship that Jakub Mensik has with Red Bull allows him to undertake challenges that only this multinational company would come up with, resulting in a new world record. The Czech tennis player has been hitting balls thrown from a drone for him to smash, gradually increasing the height until reaching 100 meters. After several attempts, Mensik succeeded in making a smash on the court with all the difficulty that entails. The video is a must-watch, as well as his reaction.
Jakub Mensik seemingly breaks the world record for highest tennis smash ever made: 100 meters!

At 01:20 in the morning, the Mutua Madrid Open session ended with Alexander Zverev triumphing over Jakub Mensik in three sets (6-4, 6-7, 6-3). A match between great servers where it seemed everything was heading towards another tiebreak, but the German relied on his physicality and experience to solve the situation earlier. Now he awaits Flavio Cobolli in the semifinals, which won't be an easy challenge either.

Jakub Mensik has not made his debut on this clay court tour yet. The Czech withdrew at the last minute from the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 2026 due to an injury that he revealed through social media. This injury has also forced him to withdraw from the ATP 500 in Munich next week: "Unfortunately, I had to withdraw from Montecarlo earlier this week due to an infection in my right foot. We have done everything possible to try to prepare to compete, but there simply hasn't been enough time. It's not the news I wanted to share, but I have also decided to withdraw from Munich."
"Together with my team, we agreed that the smartest decision is to take a little more time to recover and ensure I am at 100% for what's coming next," said the 26th-ranked ATP player.
