Current Form:
After stunning Jannik Sinner 7-6, 2-6, 6-3 and reaching the semifinals of the 2026 Qatar Open, Jakub Mensik of the Czech Republic begins a fresh campaign at the Dubai Tennis Championship. Mensik played the match of his life to upset the four-time Grand Slam winner and former world’s No.1 Jannik Sinner in two hour and 11-minute contest. Mensik fired 11 aces and collected 49 points behind the first balls. He also showed incredible poise in the tiebreaker for the first set, rattling three consecutive points to secure the frame.
Hurkacz seeks to end a three-match losing streak when he goes head-to-head with Mensik. One of the biggest servers on the tour, the Pole is averaging 17.9 aces per match and winning 81 percent of his first serves this season. However, he has only converted 10 of 49 breakpoint chances in 2026.

Our Jakub Mensik vs Hubert Hurkacz Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Jakub Mensik withstands Hubert Hurkacz 7-6, 4-6, 7-5
Mensik is the favorite at -172, but don’t be quick to rule out Hurkacz, who leads the head-to-head series 2-0. The Czech has shown his ability to handle big servers, especially in the match against Sinner, where he scored 28 return points against the former world’s No.1. However, Hurkacz presents a different kind of threat because of his ability to rack up points by launching a big serve after another.
The last two meetings needed extra sets to determine the winner. We can expect the same to happen in this match as Hurkacz will definitely bring the heat in his third matchup with Mensik. The Total Over 26.5 Games (+120 on DraftKings) is looking like a solid pick here based on how tight the first two faceoffs unfolded.
