In an interview with L’équipe in Madrid, Mensik remembered last year from the moment he received a totally unexpected call from Djokovic: « We were resting when, out of the blue, a phone came from Djokovic. It was from a Serbian number that I did not know. Happy I was talking to him on the phone, « said Jakub Mensik then, according to Eurosport.
Jakub’s coach also spoke superlatively about Serbian then, not believing that a champion is so kind: « This invitation not only changed Jakub’s perspective, but also opened new doors in his career, » said his coach, Tomas Jozefus. « Djokovic opened our doors that were completely closed. He shared everything, » said Mensik’s coach.
