Mensik and Fritz are on the Day 10 Schedule at Miami Open Presented By Itau 2025 on Friday 28 March 2025. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.
Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Jakub Mensik from Czech Republic will be playing against Taylor Fritz from the USA in their singles match. This will be their second meeting, with Fritz leading the head-to-head 1-0. Their previous match took place at the 2023 US Open, where Fritz defeated Mensik with a score of 6-1, 6-2, 6-0.
Mensik, who is 19 years old, is currently ranked number 54 in the world. He reached his career-high ranking of number 45 in February 2025 after defeating number 6 player Casper Ruud in the Australian Open third round. Mensik’s breakthrough into the top 100 came in February 2024 when he reached the quarterfinals, semifinals, and final in Doha. He had a notable victory in Doha against former champions Andy Murray, Gael Monfils, and Andrey Rublev. This win made him the youngest Czech ATP Tour finalist and the first man born in 2005 or later to play in an ATP Tour final. Mensik also had impressive performances in various Grand Slam tournaments, reaching the third round of the 2023 US Open, 2024 US Open, and 2025 Australian Open.
In addition to his achievements on the ATP Tour, Mensik also has a successful record on the Challenger circuit, winning his first title in 2023 in Prague-2. He also had a successful junior career, with highlights including reaching the final of the 2022 Australian Open boys’ singles event. Mensik is seeking his second ATP Tour final, following his previous final in Doha in February last year. If he reaches the final in Miami, he would be the third lowest-ranked finalist in tournament history. Mensik has a 1-1 record against top 5 players, with his victory over Rublev in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Doha tournament being his most significant win to date.
On the other hand, Taylor Fritz is a more experienced player at the age of 27 and is currently ranked number 4 in the world, which is his career-high ranking. He achieved this ranking in November 2024 after reaching the championship match of the Nitto ATP Finals and finishing inside the top 5 in year-end rankings. Fritz has had a successful career, becoming the first American man since James Blake in 2006 to play in the Nitto ATP Finals championship match. He also reached the final of the 2024 US Open, becoming the first American man to do so since 2009. In that tournament, he defeated players like Casper Ruud, Alexander Zverev, and Frances Tiafoe.
Fritz has had success in both ATP Masters 1000 tournaments and Grand Slam tournaments. He won the 2022 Indian Wells title, defeating Rafael Nadal in the final. He has also reached the semifinals of various ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, including Indian Wells, Madrid, Monte-Carlo, and Shanghai. Fritz has a perfect record against Czech players on the tour level, winning all nine of his previous meetings. He has a strong record against players outside the top 50 and aims to extend this record in Miami. Fritz has the opportunity to become the first American men’s finalist in Miami since John Isner in 2019.
Overall, the match between Mensik and Fritz is anticipated to be a thrilling encounter, with both players looking to add another achievement to their respective careers.
