Defeat to teenager Jakub Mensik in Miami final means 37-year-old Serb has only two titles in past 16 monthsDuring a quiet period in the relentless tennis calendar three years ago, the 16-year-old Jakub Mensik received an unexpected proposal. The Czech, who had just reached the boys’ singles final at the Australian Open, was invited by Novak Djokovic, his idol, to train together at the Serb’s academy in Belgrade. The pair quickly established a rapport, with Djokovic offering advice and counsel. For Mensik, this was a pivotal moment in his journey.That journey completed a full circle on Sunday at the Miami Open as the pair stood across the net from each other again, this time as rivals in the biggest match of the 19-year-old’s career so far, and he closed out a 7-6 (4), 7-6 (4) victory to win his first ATP title in one of the top tournaments in the game.

A revelation at Pontins fuelled the producer to avant garde acclaim. But with ‘sublime’ sounds came struggles with substances. Her intense new album peels back the plaster‘Kissed by a witch, I got hexed!” Aya howls through a storm of screaming electronics and bass groans on I Am the Pipe I Hit Myself With. The song revisits a time before Aya Sinclair was one of the UK avant garde’s most exciting talents – when she was still a Huddersfield teenager, newly into Christian rock.
