For Mensik, it was a full circle victory in more ways than one: the 20-year-old attended the first-ever Laver Cup as a 12-year-old fan in 2017.
“I was hoping to see Roger and Rafa play together,” Mensik recalled on court after the match.
“On the second day, I got lucky that they played the same on the court. It’s been a pleasure watching them and playing a few years after, here on the same court. Actually, Roger is watching me! It’s pretty cool.”
