Frances Tiafoe vs Jakub Mensik prediction
Jakub Mensik’s title defence will be put to the test by Frances Tiafoe.
The American loves the big stage and facing the 2025 champion on home soil will no doubt bring about the showman in him.
The Czech wobbled slightly in his opener as he dug deep to beat Adam Walton 3-6 6-2 6-4.
Meanwhile, Big Foe was highly efficient as he posted a seventh win in his last nine outings with a 7-6 6-1 success over Arthur Cazaux.
Mensik does lead the head-to-head 1-0 courtesy of a convincing Davis Cup win last year.
However, Tiafoe is playing at a much higher level again now and if Jakub shows nerves again, the prospect of a shock or it extending into a third set are strong.
Frances Tiafoe vs Jakub Mensik tip: Over 2.5 sets
