While Hurkacz has an unbeaten 2-0 record against Mensik and knows how to beat the 20-year-old, the youngster is currently in the form of his life. There will be a lot of short rallies in this duel, followed by slower exchanges as the average rally length increases. Expect some constant shifts in momentum as the market is showing some fluctuations, which is why the total sets &gt;2.5 is our best bet for Mensik vs Hurkacz.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jakub Mensik Recent Form<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Student Becomes The Master(s) Champion &#127942;<br><br>The moment <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mensik_jakub_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@mensik_jakub_<\/a> completed his 7-6 7-6 victory over Novak Djokovic! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MiamiOpen?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#MiamiOpen<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GDqFHrvsPB\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/GDqFHrvsPB<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Tennis TV (@TennisTV) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TennisTV\/status\/1906540845349654660?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>March 31, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Qatar Open 2026: Semifinal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Australian Open 2026: Round of 16<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ASB Classic 2026: Winner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>United Cup 2026: Quarterfinal (1-2)<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hubert Hurkacz Recent Form<\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rotterdam Open 2026: Round of 32<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open Occitanie 2026: Round of 32<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Australian Open 2026: Round of 64<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>United Cup 2026: Winner (4-1)<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jakub Mensik vs Hubert Hurkacz Head to Head Record<\/h2><p>The head-to-head record between Jakub Mensik and Hubert Hurkacz is currently 2-0 in favor of the Pole.

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport.
