The round of 128 match of US Open 2023 between Jakub Mensik and Gregoire Barrere will take place on August 28.
In a remarkable feat, Jakub Mensik swiftly earned his place in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament with just one opportunity. During the US Open qualifiers, Mensik showcased his prowess by defeating Fabio Fognini, Leandro Riedi, and Zdenek Kolar, ensuring his entry into the main event. Despite a heart-wrenching loss in a three-set final at the Boys’ Australian Open the previous year, the talented Czech youngster rebounded swiftly, seamlessly transitioning into the professional arena. Notably, he triumphed in 39 matches, including clinching four ITF titles, in the preceding year. Adding to his achievements, Mensik recently celebrated a significant milestone by securing his inaugural Challenger title in Prague.
Enduring his most challenging period in 2023, Gregoire Barrere has encountered defeat in successive matches at the Washington, Toronto Masters, and Cincinnati Masters tournaments. Remarkably, this marks the first time in his remarkable 2023 season that he has suffered three consecutive losses on the main tour. Across the past eight months, the French player showcased consistent performances across various court types, resulting in a breakthrough into the ATP top 50 for the first time in his career. However, he faced difficulties in Grand Slam events this year, experiencing early exits at the Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon, with only one win to his name. Notably, out of his 15 Grand Slam first-round matches, merely three concluded in straight sets, while four stretched to five sets, including his debut at the US Open in 2019, where he triumphed against Cameron Norrie.
