Lunar situation in the middle of the opponent meeting Arthur Son has Jakub Mensik this Thursday, during the Next Gen ATP Finals. The Frenchman was quietly leading two sets to nothing in this game with special rules – four games are enough to win a set and decisive point at 40-40 – when a simple toilet break turned into a huge mess. Jakub Mensik came out of the locker room late, and gestured to the chair umpire Nacho Forcadell that a doping control was requested from him, even though the meeting was not over.

And 24 minutes later… defeat
The referee immediately took the logical side of the Czech and sent the message to prevent such an error from happening again. Doping has already been in the news in Tennis for several months after the affairs surrounding Jannik Sinner et Iga Swiatekand it clearly hasn’t stopped causing people to talk. 24 minutes after this incident, Jakub Mensik lost the match, eliminating him from the competition despite being the third highest ranked player of the eight at the ATP. This will remain a symbolic anecdote, unless the 19-year-old decides to bang his fist on the table.
