Tennis player Menšík returns home to Prostějov after win in Miami

Tennis player Jakub Menšík enjoyed returning to his hometown of Prostějov after his triumph at the Masters tournament in Miami, and told reporters at a press conference that by moving to twenty-fourth place in the ATP rankings, he has already fulfilled his pre-season goal. “As soon as everything calms down a bit and I return to the court, I will set new goals,” said Mr. Menšík.

The nineteen-year-old native of Prostějov, who became the first Czech to win a Masters tournament since Tomáš Berdych's success in Paris in 2005, watched a commemorative video at the beginning of the press conference that showed highlights from his 7:6, 7:6 win over Novak Djokovic. He has decided to withdraw from an upcoming tournament in Monte Carlo, which starts at the end of the week, and to take a few days’ rest instead.
