World No. 23 Jakub Mensik commented on his victory over Ben Shelton in the third round of the Madrid Masters, where he won the match 6-1, 6-4.
Asked about the challenge of playing against an opponent with a serve as powerful as his own, Mensik was questioned about his approach.
“Honestly, I don`t know,” Mensik responded. “Today I was returning really well. Although Ben can certainly serve even better. At this altitude, on top of it being the fastest clay court, it wasn`t easy to return his serve. I knew he wasn`t in his best shape, and neither was I, but I still tried to give my maximum. I`m happy I was able to win. Let`s see what happens in the next match.”
