Jakub Mensik has become an ATP Tour champion in stunning fashion, beating Novak Djokovic to win the Miami Open.
Mensik and Djokovic made history with their age gap in the final, with the former only 19 and the latter 37.
Djokovic has congratulated Mensik on his Miami Open success, with the teenager winning their final 7-6(7-4), 7-6(7-4).
The match finally got underway after a six-hour rain delay in Miami, where Djokovic was denied a 100th ATP Tour title.
His search for the milestone will now continue, while former world number 54 Mensik now has his maiden title.

Who did Jakub Mensik en route to the Miami Open title?
Unlike Djokovic, Mensik began the ATP Masters 1000 event all the way back in round one, where he overcame Roberto Bautista Agut.
The Czech ace then knocked out Indian Wells champion Jack Draper and Roman Safiullin in rounds two and three respectively.
His compatriot and 20th seed Tomas Machac then withdrew from their round of 16 clash, before Mensik defeated 17th seed Arthur Fils.
A stunning semi-final win was then secured over third seed Taylor Fritz before the teenager overcame fourth seed and 24-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic.

| Round one | Roberto Bautista Agut | 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 |
| Round two | Jack Draper | 7-6(7-2), 7-6(7-3) |
| Round three | Roman Safiullin | 6-4, 6-4 |
| Round of 16 | Tomas Machac | Walkover |
| Quarter-final | Arthur Fils | 7-6(7-5), 6-1 |

OptaAce also noted a further record from the champion, with Mensik now only the second teenager ranked outside the top 20 to win an ATP Masters 1000 event after Michael Chang.
The American, who won the 1989 French Open, was ranked world number 24 when he triumphed in Toronto in 1990.
Elsewhere in the ATP rankings after the Miami Open, Daniil Medvedev has dropped three places and out of the top 10 to 11th, with Fils rising three places to 15th.
