Mariano Navone has clearly been the stronger clay-court player of the two this season, collecting 14 wins on the surface compared to just four for Jakub Mensik. However, the main concern surrounding Navone here is the heavy workload he has carried in recent weeks, including a runner-up finish in Chile last week, which could eventually lead to fatigue becoming a factor.
Mensik Continues Strong Campaign
- Mariano Navone holds a 1–3 second-round record in Grand Slams.
- He won six of his last eight matches against Top 50 players.
- Jakub Mensik owns a 5–3 record in Grand Slam second rounds.
- He has a 16–5 record against players outside the Top 20.
HTH
This will be their first meeting.
Navone Carries Geneva Confidence Into Paris
Mariano Navone moved past Jenson Brooksby in straight sets in the opening round at the French Open, winning 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. Despite trailing by a break early in the first set, he controlled most of the match and closed it out comfortably.
The Argentine arrives with strong momentum after a slow start to the season. He won only two matches across his first six tournaments before gradually finding form again with his maiden ATP title in Bucharest, a third-round run in Rome and a runner-up finish in Geneva last week.
Those results helped Navone climb back inside the top 40 rankings after dropping close to the top 100 during the middle of last season following a disappointing run of results.
The 25-year-old has reached the second round at Grand Slam level four times but advanced further only once, which came here in Paris last year when he reached the third round, still the best major result of his career.

Mensik Looks To Regain Best Form
Jakub Mensik advanced to the second round at the French Open after defeating Titouan Droguet in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. He won 90 percent of his first-serve points and converted six of his 11 break-point chances during the match.
The Czech reached the second round in Paris on his debut last year but suffered a painful five-set defeat against Henrique Rocha after leading by two sets. This time, he will aim to go a step further.
The 20-year-old began the season strongly with several notable results, but his level dropped after the Middle East swing. Failing to defend his title in Miami also pushed him outside the top 20 rankings earlier this year.
Mensik now owns a 5-3 career record in second-round matches at Grand Slams, although he has lost two of his previous four matches at this stage.

Verdict
If Navone’s energy levels start to drop, a talented player like Mensik could be capable of taking advantage. Backing Mensik to win, along with Mensik to win in three sets, in four sets, and cover the -3.5 games handicap, all look like interesting options here.
