Jakub Mensik signed paper to quit Miami Open before upsetting Novak Djokovic
New Miami Open champion Jakub Mensik revealed that he signed papers to withdraw from the tournament, but a referee being on their lunch break stopped him from delivering that paperwork before going on to win the event. The Czech 19-year-old defeated Novak Djokovic 7-6(4), 7-6(4) to claim an almighty scalp in Florida.
Mensik’s tournament could have been over before it even started. Minutes before his opening match against Roberto Bautista Agut, the teenager was suffering from immense pain in his knee and initially wanted to pull out.
