Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Yannick Hanfmann prediction

Yannick Hanfmann in action at French Open

As the second round of Mallorca Open 2023 approaches, Stefanos Tsitsipas, the top seed and reigning champion, will square off against the confident Yannick Hanfmann. Each has a victory to their name in their previous two encounters, making this showdown a highly anticipated tiebreaker.

Tsitsipas is well-equipped for grass courts with his powerful serve and lethal forehand, but his dry spell in terms of recent titles might leave him slightly vulnerable. Contrastingly, Hanfmann, fresh from a commanding victory over Pedro Cachin in the first round, carries a robust momentum.

Known for his aptitude on quicker surfaces, Hanfmann strikes his groundstrokes with immense force and precision. Coupling this with Tsitsipas’s slight dip in form could create a ripe environment for an upset.

Pick: Yannick Hanfmann to win in three sets.
