Arthur Fils of France looks to get his smoking hot campaign at the Miami Open going as he vies for a place in the final four against Jakub Mensik of Czech Republic on Thursday.
For the second time in their last three matches, Fils defeated world’s No.2 and top seed Alexander Zverev of Germany. And just like what happened in their previous three encounters, their match went the distance with the Frenchman punching his ticket to the quarterfinals 3-6 6-3 6-4. Fils won 65 percent of his first serves or 35 out of 51 and added 16 more from his second serves. The win guaranteed Fils a back-to-back Sunshine Double quarterfinal appearance after also reaching the final eight at Indian Wells a week ago.
Mensik eased through to the quarterfinals after countryman Tomas Machac withdrew from their match due to illness. But before getting the free passage to the final eight, Mensik had to pass three tough opponents, including reigning Indian Wells champion Jack Draper. Mensik outlasted Draper in two tiebreakers to earn a hard-earned two-set win 7-6(2) 7-6(3) in the second round. He then followed it up with a clinical 6-4, 6-4 win over Roman Safiullin in the round of 32.

Our Arthur Fils vs Jakub Mensik Prediction
I am going all in on Arthur Fils. The 20-year-old Frenchman has the skills and momentum heading into his first career match with Mensik. There are concerns about Fils’ stamina since he will play less than 24 hours after dispatching Zverev in an epic three-set clash. However, Fils is mature enough to understand that questionable scheduling is part of the game and that he can only roll with the punches. Mensik is no pushover. There’s a reason why he’s a Miami Open quarterfinalist for the first time. He defeated Jack Draper fairly and squarely and kept focused after a big win to beat Safiullin in the next round. The Czech certainly has a chance here if he can replicate his form from his previous matches. But right now, I feel Fils plays a level higher than him. He comes ready and more battle-tested, having won six of his last seven games during the Sunshine Double. Our betting prediction for Arthur Fils vs. Jakub Mensik: Arthur Fils will win.
