In the confrontation with the Chilean, Jakub made seven aces, made two break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. It was the Czech's eighth win on the open hard court this season, with five losses.
Professional qualities
Menshik is a young Czech talent who is already demonstrating enviable mental stability and composure in the game. His psychological maturity helps him to show a high level of tennis. Technically, Jakub is also well prepared - he has a powerful and accurate serve, especially effective on fast courts, as well as a reliable backhand that allows him to line up most of the draws.
Current indicators in the tour
Menshik is the 57th rocket in the world at the moment. The 19-year-old Czech has won six trophies in his career. He completed the last of them at a home challenger in Prague in 2023.
Interesting facts for betting

Sakamoto defeated Govinda Nanda (6-3, 6-4) in the first round of the challenger in Cap Cana. Ray made seven aces in the match, made three break points and lost one game on his serve. The Japanese has nine wins and four losses on the open hard court this season.
Professional qualities
Sakamoto prefers an attacking style and feels more comfortable on hard surfaces. However, he still lacks tactical flexibility, and the number of unforced errors remains high.

Sakamoto has won only one title in his career so far - last season he scored a victory at a home tournament in Yokkaichi. The 18-year-old Japanese is currently ranked 365th in the world rankings.
