Jakub Mensik claims Miami Open to deny Novak Djokovic his 100th title
Jakub Mensik, of Czech Republic, reacts after defeating Novak Djokovic, of Serbia, in the men's singles final match at the Miami Open tennis tournament, March 30, 2025, in Miami Gardens, Fla.

JAKUB MENSIK denied Novak Djokovic his 100th tour level title as he claimed his first in a rain-delayed Miami Open final.

The 19-year-old Czech won 7-6 (4) 7-6 (4) as he won his first ATP Masters 1000 final and became the second-youngest Miami champion behind Carlos Alcaraz, who won in 2022 as an 18-year-old.

The defeat leaves Djokovic, who appeared to struggle with an issue underneath his right eye, without a title on tour since the ATP Finals in 2023. His only success in 2024 came at the Olympics.
