Jakub Mensik’s struggles continued as he was defeated in the first round of the Prostejov Challenger by world No. 225 Vitaliy Sachko. The young Czech talent, who had a tough loss at the French Open, was unable to bounce back, falling 6-4, 1-6, 7-5 in a hard-fought match.
Mensik entered the tournament hoping to regain momentum after his five-set defeat to Henrique Rocha in Paris, but Sachko proved to be a difficult opponent. Despite a strong second set where Mensik dominated, he was unable to maintain his level in the decider, allowing Sachko to secure the victory.
This loss marks a challenging period for Mensik, who had been climbing the rankings and showing promise on the ATP Tour. As he looks ahead to upcoming tournaments, he will aim to regroup and find his form again. Fans remain hopeful that he can turn things around and return to winning ways soon.
