Hey guys, Jakub [Mensik] here, Im super happy and super excited to qualify for the Next Gen ATP Finals for the second time.
The whole year was really good for me, winning my first ATP title, the Masters 1000 in Miami, was a really great run.
It makes it even more special finishing the year as a top 20 player.
Really excited to see you guys in December, in Jeddah. For the Saudi people, for the kids, and all the whole country, its a great opportunity for the future.
Im super excited to come, and I will see you all there.- Jakub Mensik said.
Jakub Mensik is the favorite, but can he win the title?
Jakub Mensik will certainly be a huge favorite, even though he did not excel last year, losing all three matches in the group stage of this tournament.

Many believe that the greatest danger for Mensik will be Learner Tien, while it is hard to expect that other competitors will create problems for the Czech tennis player, given that these tennis players are outside the top 100.
However, in sports, any outcome is possible, and the question is certainly how motivated individuals will be at this tournament.
