Australian Open > Defeated after two match points, Mensik signs a memorable hug with Davidovich Fokina, class!

We can “fight” during the match but once the fight is over, life takes over.

Mensik may have “missed” two match points, but he knows that this experience will help him for the rest of his career. As a result, he preferred to be positive and warmly congratulate his “executioner” (3−6, 4–6, 7–6 (7), 6–4, 6–2)

This scene confirms that the handshake remains a key moment in the history of tennis, even if sometimes it can be tense.
