@tennis Did anyone on 🌍 know that Martin Klizan is still a professional tennis player? I swear I thought he retired, but saw that he lost today in a R1 match in Bucharest playing as a qualifier. Made me think of the time in late 2010s when I saw Bruno Soares had entered a singles event (turns out they just needed players to fill the field due to injuries). As a qualifier, I’m guessing this wasn’t a planned retirement tournament. Can’t imagine there are many miles left on tour for Klizan though. Looking at the ATP site he’s just been playing clay court events in Europe. A year ago, he won a few ITF events, but hasn’t won a tour match in a long time and his ranking is in the 300s.

Absolute world class performance from teenager Jakub Mensik to beat Novak Djokovic in two tough straight set tiebreakers. Mensik (19) is the highest ranked (54) teenager in the world for good reasons and proved his increasing quality. Surely a future top-10 player.

Djokovic misses out on his 100th career title and looked ragged doing it. His draw was not that tough based on quality and H2H matchups and I think he was lucky to be there. His fitness and movement looked maxxed out. Can’t see him winning another 1000, let alone a Slam. He can play at a high level against the youngsters for two sets but that’s about it now imho #tennis
