    • Teenager Jakob Mensik denies his childhood idol Novak Djokovic a 100th ATP singles title with a superb performance to clinch the Miami Open title.

In a surprising turn of events at the Miami Open, 18-year-old Jakub Mensik from the Czech Republic defeated Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals, preventing the tennis legend from securing his 100th career title.

This victory not only marks a significant milestone in Mensik's burgeoning career but also adds to the list of upsets in the tournament, following the earlier defeat of top seed Daniil Medvedev by Jannik Sinner. Djokovic, who has been dominant in the sport for over a decade, expressed his disappointment but also praised Mensik's talent and potential, suggesting that the young player could be a future star in tennis.
