Jakub Mensik has looked solid in his Montreal Masters main-draw debut, reaching the round of 16 with victories over Jacob Fearnley and Terence Atmane. The Czech now faces another manageable test against Botic van de Zandschulp, who has struggled to find consistency throughout the season.
Mensik's solid serve, aggressive baseline game, and overall athleticism should allow him to dictate the match, particularly if Van de Zandschulp continues to produce an inconsistent level.
Mensik Looks To Extend His Montreal Run
- Botic van de Zandschulp has a 0–2 record in Round of 16 matches at Masters events.
- He has a 1–6 record against Top 20 players in 2026.
- Jakub Mensik has a 2–2 record in Round of 16 matches at Masters events.
- He has a 17–3 record against players outside the Top 20 in 2026.
HTH
This will be their first meeting.
Botic van de Zandschulp Builds on His Montreal Revival
Botic van de Zandschulp moved into the fourth round after defeating Hubert Hurkacz from a set down, 3-6, 7-6, 7-5. He was a set and 3-5 down at one stage and even faced two match points in the second set before making a comeback to seal the match.
His performances this week have been impressive, especially considering he arrived without winning multiple matches in any of his previous seven events and had also never won multiple matches at the Canadian Open before.
His notable results this year include reaching the semifinal in Bucharest, the quarterfinal in Rotterdam, and the third round at the Australian Open and Rome.
Van de Zandschulp has a 0-2 record in round-of-16 matches at Masters 1000 level and is now looking for his maiden quarterfinal at this level.

Mensik Chases Another Big Montreal Result
Jakub Mensik defeated Terence Atmane in straight sets to reach the fourth round in Montreal, 7-5, 6-4. This was a much more comfortable win compared to his three-set victory over Jacob Fearnley in the previous round.
Except for his recent disappointing results during the grass swing, Mensik has produced solid results this year, winning the title in Auckland, reaching the semifinals in Doha and at the French Open, and making the fourth round in Madrid and at the Australian Open.
Mensik has a 2-2 record in round-of-16 matches at Masters 1000 level and has lost his last two matches at this stage. His most recent win in a round-of-16 match came in Madrid last year.
