Jakub Mensik has qualified for the Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF for the second time.
“I am super happy and super excited that I can qualify for the Next Gen ATP Finals for the second time,” said Mensik. “The whole year was really good for me, winning my first ATP title with the Masters 1000 in Miami. It was a really great run and makes it even more special to end the year as a Top 20 player. I’m very excited to see you in Jeddah in December.”
The 20-year-old made history earlier this season in Miami, where he stunned Novak Djokovic in the final to become the second-youngest title winner in tournament history after Carlos Alcaraz. Mensik, then 19, was only the fifth teenager to beat Djokovic on the ATP Tour.
In a standout year, the Czech jumped to No. 16 in the PIF ATP Rankings in August, while posting four Top 10 wins in 2025, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index. Mensik defeated Jack Draper, Taylor Fritz and Djokovic in Miami and knocked out Casper Ruud en route to the third round at the Australian Open.
Mensik enjoyed a quarter-final in Madrid and advanced to the fourth round in Rome. He also reached the quarter-finals in Brisbane, Auckland, Eastbourne and Beijing.
Last year’s champion, Joao Fonseca, has withdrawn from the 2025 Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF as he continues to recover from an injury suffered at the end of the 2025 ATP Tour season. We wish Joao the best in his recovery and as he prepares for the 2026 ATP Tour season.
The Next Gen ATP Finals 2025, presented by PIF, will take place from December 17 to 21. Former champions include Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
