Miami Masters champion Jakub Mensik admitted that he almost withdrew from the tournament before it even started.
“An hour before my first match, I was standing with a paper, wanting to withdraw from the tournament. My knee was hurting badly. Luckily, the tournament referee went to lunch.”
“I went to the physio – and he worked a miracle. Thanks to him, I went out on the court, and now I am standing here,” Mensik said at the award ceremony after the final.
