By IANS News January 05, 2026 • 11:14 AM View: 127

United Cup: Jakub Mensik clinched Czechia’s victory over Norway at the United Cup on Monday, when he defeated Casper Ruud 7-5, 7-6(6).

Making his United Cup debut and playing his first match of the season, Mensik’s win followed Barbora Krejcikova’s victory over Malene Helgo, giving Czechia a 2-0 win in the Group D tie and eliminating Norway, which fell to 0-2 this week.

Mensik, 20, is the second-youngest man to record a singles win in United Cup history, behind 18-year-old Stefanos Sakellaridis in 2023.
