Jack Draper Stunned by Jakub Mensik in Miami Open Second Round

The 19-year-old Czech player delivered a dominant serving performance to defeat Draper just days after his Indian Wells triumph.

  • Jack Draper, seeded sixth, was eliminated from the Miami Open in a 7-6 (2), 7-6 (3) second-round loss to Jakub Mensik.
  • Mensik, ranked 54th in the world, secured one of the biggest wins of his career with an exceptional serving display, including 21 aces.
  • Draper struggled to maintain the momentum from his Indian Wells title, citing challenges adapting to Miami's humid conditions and heavier balls.
  • The match was briefly paused during the second set due to disruptive crowd behavior from Brazilian fans awaiting another match.
  • Draper will now shift his focus to the clay court season, while Mensik's victory highlights the depth of young talent on the ATP Tour.
