Episode Details

Twenty-year-old Jakub Mensik is on the brink of Grand Slam glory, just two matches away from history after stunningly reaching his first major semifinal at Roland Garros. In a gritty battle against Joao Fonseca, Mensik saved a set point and won a nerve-wracking tiebreak after fighting off six match points — becoming the first player born in 2004 or later to reach this stage. Despite a rocky start to the tournament — including a toe infection, a wheelchair exit in the second round, and a brutal heatwave — Mensik has surged back with powerhouse performances against top names like de Minaur and Rublev. Now, he’ll face Alexander Zverev in the semis, having already shown he thrives under pressure and can silence roaring crowds with laser focus. The stage is set for a showdown that could rewrite tennis history.
