Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleJakub Mensik is a 20-year-old Czech rising star who turned professional in 2022 and has quickly become one of tennis's most exciting talents. Mentored by his idol Novak Djokovic, Mensik announced himself by defeating the Serb to win the 2025 Miami Open, his first Masters 1000 title when he was only 19 years old.
In 2026, he stunned Jannik Sinner in Doha and reached his maiden Grand Slam semi-final at Roland Garros, becoming the youngest Czech man to do so since Ivan Lendl. His next match at the ongoing US Open is on September 1, 2026. Amid this, his personal life has grabbed attention. For the unversed, he has been romantically linked to Josefina Catino.
Although a lot of details about Josefina Catino’s current profession remain unknown, she is frequently active on Instagram. As of August 2026, Catino has more than 11,000 followers on the platform, where her bio says “welcome to my overdramatic little world.” The bio also says, Argentina en españa, which refers to Argentina in Spain.
She posts often on the platform and was highly active during Jakub Mensik's surprise run to the French Open semifinals, keeping her audience updated throughout. Her profile has two pinned Instagram Stories, one titled “Amor.” Both stories are related to her pets, featuring a cheerful dog and two cats who love to cuddle.
Originally from Argentina, Catino frequently shares travel photos, including a skiing getaway with Mensik in St. Moritz, a summer vacation in Greece, and a trip to Miami to see Lionel Messi play for Inter Miami. While she has been to many places, New York City has been her favorite among all of them. At the 2025 US Open, she even shared a lineup of snaps from the city on Instagram.
While tennis is a regular feature on her feed, she has been posting about golf more frequently since summer 2026. She and Jakub Mensik have taken up the sport casually, with Catino jokingly calling herself a beginner in the game. In August 2026, she even shared some photos from a golf game and was accompanied by Jakub. The caption of her post reads:
“Your signal to ask your boyfriend to teach you how to play golf and take a thousand pictures of you while he’s at it, btw, I did way better than I thought I would and got my first par (idk what is that but Jakub said that's good).”
The pair first met in Valencia, Spain, in 2024 while Josefina Catino was working at a restaurant frequented by the Czech Davis Cup team. Unaware that he was a professional tennis player, she asked Jakub Mensik if he played and requested his Instagram handle. What followed quickly became a long-distance relationship, with Menšík on the road for tournaments and Catino focused on her studies and job.
Their relationship later went public on social media in 2025. After his breakthrough title at the Miami Open, Menšík spoke openly about how the long-distance setup suits them. Since then, Catino has traveled more often to cheer him on during the ATP Tour, attending key clay-court stops like Monte Carlo, Madrid and Rome.
Menšík also gave her a public shout-out in his on-court speech after lifting the ASB Classic trophy in Auckland. She was in his player box for his strong semifinal run at the 2026 French Open, sharing her first-ever Roland-Garros experience with her followers.
