Further on the tour, he won five more singles events. In May 2023, he won the Sparta Prague Open at the ATP Challenger finals.

Mensik made his Grand Slam debut at the 2023 U.S. Open and made it to the third round (lost vs. Taylor Fritz). About the former event, Mensik said on the official website of BNP Paribas Open, “It was such an unbelievable experience, because when you have the opportunity to play at a young age against a player like this, the experience, it was very good for me.” In the 2024 season, he again reached the third round. As of January 2025, Mensik has a 32-23 ATP career singles record and is yet to win an ATP Tour title.
