Czech teenager Jakub Mensik, facing Karen Khachanov in the Doha final, would be the 10th youngest singles champ in ATP history if he prevails. 18 years, 5 months, 24 days via #ATP #tennis https://t.co/UHS2yXwIxm
The 18-year-old Jakub Mensik rose quickly, beating Gael Monfils 6-4, 1-6, 6-3 in Doha. You never know when the teenagers will rise out of nowhere, but they will stay there, week after week. Maybe. As he said: โI have to say this performance was one of the best in my entire life.โ https://t.co/6Nl2BQZp6l
