Another thriller could be in the offing in Miami as defending champion Jakub Mensik squares off with Frances Tiafoe for a spot in the fourth round of the 2026 Miami Open. The Over 2.5 Sets (+105) is gaining traction with many tennis experts anticipating a three-set marathon for this match.
Current Form:
American Francis Tiafoe opened as a +135 underdog to the Czech Republic’s rising star Jakub Mensik, valued at -165, in the third round of the 2026 Miami Open.
Tiafoe made quick work of Arthur Cazaux 7-6, 6-1 to advance to the round of 32 in Miami, a week after a fourth-round exit at Indian Wells. Mensik, on the other hand, hacked out a come-from-behind win over Adam Walton 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 in the second round.
Mensik holds a 1-0 record vs. Tiafoe, having beaten the American 6-1, 6-4 in last year’s Davis Cup tie. Tiafoe’s 1-4 record against top-20 opponents this year also doesn’t look promising ahead of what many expect to be a tough matchup with the No.13 Czech.

Our Frances Tiafoe vs Jakub Mensik Prediction
Jakub Mensik grinds out a tough win over Frances Tiafoe in a three-set classic.
Mensik swept Tiafoe in their first encounter at the 2025 Davis Cup. However, the Czech’s performance in the past few tournaments has been erratic, which is something Tiafoe could capitalize.
Tiafoe hasn’t been getting consistent results so far this year, but his 26-26 record in third-round matches makes him a very seasoned player at this stage of a big tournament. Although it’s still probably Mensik who will end up winning this match, Tiafoe’s ability to take the fight to Mensik cannot be overlooked. Tiafoe +1.5 Sets is a little bit underpriced at -215, so this leaves Over 2.5 Sets (+105) as the more feasible pick if you are anticipating a three-set tussle for this match.
Our betting prediction for Frances Tiafoe vs. Jakub Mensik: Over 2.5 Sets.
