9 stellar Jakub Mensik feats and statistics after sensational Miami Open title win

Jakub Mensik racked up a plethora of stellar statistical feats as he upset Novak Djokovic to win his first-ever career title at the 2025 Miami Open.

The 19-year-old Czech produced an outstanding display to earn a 7-6(4), 7-6(4) victory against Djokovic in a rain-delayed final at the Hard Rock Stadium.

After his triumph, Mensik paid tribute to Djokovic, who he has revealed is his biggest idol.

“Novak, everyone knows you’re the one… the reason I’m here. I watched you growing up. I started to play tennis because of you,” Mensik said during the trophy ceremony.

“There is not a harder task for a tennis player than to beat you in the final of a tournament. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done in this sport and for everyone. You’re an incredible person. The greatest of all time.”

Here are nine impressive stats after Mensik’s breakthrough win.

Lowest-ranked man to win the Miami Open

Having entered the tournament as the world No 54, Mensik has become the lowest-ranked player to ever win the Miami Open men’s singles title.

First player to win seven tiebreaks en route to a Masters 1000 title

The big-serving Czech won all seven tiebreaks he played in his six matches in Miami, which is the most any player has won en route to securing a Masters 1000 title.

He won two tiebreaks against Jack Draper in the second round, one against Arthur Fils in the quarter-finals, two against Taylor Fritz in the last four and two against Djokovic in the final.

Second player to win seven tiebreaks en route to an ATP title

Mensik is only the second player to win seven tiebreaks in a title run at any level of ATP tournament after John Isner, who also prevailed in seven tiebreaks en route to winning the 2013 Atlanta Open.

Second teenager outside top 20 to win a Masters 1000 title

The 19-year-old has become only the second teenager ranked outside the top 20 to win a Masters 1000 event after Michael Chang, who triumphed at the 1990 Canadian Open when ranked 24th.

Fourth man to win their maiden title at a Masters 1000 event

Mensik is only the fourth ATP player to win their maiden career singles title at Masters level after Roberto Carretero (Hamburg 1996), Chris Woodruff (Montreal 1997) and Albert Portas (Hamburg 2001).
