Career
Since turning professional in 2022, Menšík has risen rapidly through the ATP ranks. He made his Grand Slam main draw debut at the 2023 US Open as a qualifier and reached the third round, becoming the youngest player to do so at a Major since Rafael Nadal in 2004.
In February 2024, he reached his first ATP final in Doha, defeating Andy Murray, Gael Monfils, and Andrey Rublev along the way. By October 2024, Menšík had reached his first Masters 1000 quarterfinal in Shanghai and qualified for the Next Gen ATP Finals.
The highlight of his career came in March 2025, when he won the Miami Open, his first ATP title, by defeating Novak Djokovic in the final. This historic victory made him the youngest Czech Masters champion and the first teenager outside the top 50 to win the Miami Open.
Menšík broke into the world’s top 20 following this triumph and continues to establish himself as one of the brightest young stars in men’s tennis.
