ATP Rome – Hurkacz vs. Mensik
🧠 Form & Context
Jakub Mensik
Jakub Mensik’s meteoric rise continues, and a win here would send him into his third consecutive Masters quarterfinal following his Miami title and Madrid QF appearance. So far in Rome, he’s been clinical, winning all his matches without dropping a set—even while being pushed in tight contests against Matteo Gigante and Fabian Marozsan.
Regardless of this result, Mensik is guaranteed to crack the ATP Top 20 next week, becoming Czech Republic’s new No. 1. His ability to handle big matches with such poise at a young age has already turned heads, and his record against top-10 players at Masters events proves he’s ready for the big stage.
Hubert Hurkacz
Hubert Hurkacz continues his comeback efforts after a difficult injury-affected stretch. His gritty three-set win over Marcos Giron showed flashes of his old resilience but also exposed lingering fitness concerns, especially on the slower Rome clay.
Hurkacz historically enjoys playing here—Rome was the site of his best-ever clay Masters result when he reached the quarterfinals last year, famously defeating Rafael Nadal. However, his movement and stamina remain question marks after surgery, and long matches on this surface could be his undoing against a rising star like Mensik.
