Is it time to put some more respect on the name of Jakub Mensik?

Some people have called Mensik cooked after his season after winning Miami was comparatively weak. Now that he defeated Sinner in a decider, how much should we change how we talk and think about him as a player regarding his potential etc?

For all we know it could be a one time thing, like Shelton against Sinner in Shanghai. But he has performed well at Auckland as well as R16 of a slam. Seems like injury and that feeble forehand will be the limiting factors.

Jakub has great potential and has delivered twice. Let's see if he can add consistency.

No.

You can't trash Zverev for his forehand and then give Mensik a free pass.

hmm forehand yes, certain similarities there, but otherwise Mensik has just much bigger weapons and clutch mindset, much more potantial for winning a slam than Zed. He just needs to stay aggressive (he sometimes tends to be too unnecessarily patient)

Mensik has a much better transition game already
