It is no news that more often than not, tennis players lose their cool on the court if they lose a point or a match. The Serbinator is especially known for this, although of course, he’s not alone. Today, Jakub Mensik lost his cool after losing a point to Lukas Klein at the Miami Open and threw his racket toward the court bench. Guess who it was reminiscent of?
The incident sparked a reaction from tennis fans comparing him to Novak Djokovic because apparently, Mensik had mentioned in one of his interviews that Djokovic is his idol. Seems like a tricky situation for the two!

During an interview in 2022, Mensik shared how Djokovic is his idol, so now fans are trolling Djokovic and Mensik and making comparisons implying that it makes sense for Mensik to lose his temper because he idolizes Djokovic, who also does the same. One of the comments was, “No prizes for guessing who his idol growing up was.” The fans are implying that he is only doing what he has learned from his idol.
Another fan added, “A Djoko fan, no surprise” The people watching the match were trying to imply that since Mensik idolizes Djokovic, he is acting aggressively because Djokovic has also done the same in the past.
One also wrote, “When your idol is Novak Djokovic, you’re destined to rash on-court behavior. In my opinion.” Djokovic’s name being dragged without his involvement in the match might be considered absurd but since Mensik called him an idol, this comparison was bound to happen.
