Jakub Mensik and Josefina Catino Share French Open Moments as Quarterfinal Spotlight Grows
Jakub Mensik is fighting for the biggest Grand Slam result of his young career at the 2026 French Open, but he is not the only one drawing attention in Paris. Ahead of his quarterfinal match, his girlfriend Josefina Catino also caught the spotlight with a social media post that gave fans a look at her French Open experience.
The 20-year-old Czech star reached his first Roland Garros quarterfinal after a strong run through the tournament. Mensik's campaign has included impressive wins against top opponents, helping him move closer to another jump in the ATP rankings. He was scheduled to face Brazil's Joao Fonseca in the quarterfinals, with a place in the semifinals on the line. The winner would move on to face Alexander Zverev, who had already secured his semifinal spot.
As Mensik continues his run, fans have also been following the people supporting him off the court. One of the most visible supporters has been Josefina Catino, who has regularly shared moments from tournaments on social media. Catino has been publicly linked with Mensik since early 2025. While the couple has kept much of their relationship private, Catino has often shared updates from events where she supports the Czech player.
According to Sports Illustrated's On SI, Catino posted photos and videos from her time at Roland Garros on June 1 and described the French Open as her favorite tournament to attend. She also appeared set to attend Mensik's quarterfinal match in Paris. On her Instagram story, Catino shared a selfie showing her match-day outfit along with what appeared to be a French Open credential. The outfit featured a simple look with a white long-sleeve top and black pants.
Meanwhile, the attention around Mensik continues to grow because of his performance on the court. The Czech player reached the last eight of a Grand Slam for the first time, adding another important milestone to his young career. His run at Roland Garros has come during a tournament that has seen several young stars make deep runs, including Joao Fonseca and Rafael Jodar. For now, Mensik's main focus remains tennis. However, with every win in Paris, interest in both his career and his personal life continues to increase. As the French Open moves into its final stages, Catino remains one of the familiar faces supporting him from the stands while he chases the biggest result of his Grand Slam career.
