Jannik Sinner vs Yannick Hanfmann preview
Top seed Jannik Sinner will take on Yannick Hanfmann in the first round of the Wimbledon Championships on Monday (July 1, 2024).
Sinner has been one of the stand-out performers on the men's tour this year. He's chalked up 38 wins from 41 matches, including title-winning runs in the Australian Open, Rotterdam Open, Miami Open, and the Halle Open. He also reached the semifinals of the 2024 French Open, where he lost to Carlos Alcaraz in five sets.
The Italian put up a sensational performance in Halle last week. He defeated the likes of Fabian Marozsan, Jan Lennard Struff, and Zhang Zhizhen en route to the finals, where he overpowered Hubert Hurkacz to lift the title. Sinner outfoxed the Pole in one hour and 49 minutes, 7-6(8), 7-6(2).
Yannick Hanfmann, meanwhile, has made an ordinary start to the season by garnering 11 wins from 27 matches, including a quarterfinal finish in the Cordoba Open. He also reached the second round of the Stuttgart Open last week, where he lost to Frances Tiafoe in straight sets.
The German will enter Wimbledon on the back of a first-round exit in the Mallorca Championships. He was eliminated by Australian qualifier Adam Walton in one hour and 40 minutes, 7-5, 6-2. Hanfmann will be keen to pose a strong challenge to Sinner at the All England Club.

Jannik Sinner vs Yannick Hanfmann prediction
Jannik Sinner is constantly improving his game at the highest level and is a force to be reckoned with on the men's tour. He ended Djokovic's six-year unbeaten run in Melbourne to capture his first-ever Major title this year. The Italian likes to play an aggressive brand of tennis and is known for his tactical awareness on the court.
Hanfmann, on the contrary, is making his third appearance at the Wimbledon Championships this year. The German has struggled to reach the second week of any event since making the last eight in Cordoba. He will need to raise his level and change his approach to find his potential on tour.
Considering their record at Wimbledon and recent results at the highest level, Sinner will surely be the clear favorite. The Italian should be able to execute his solid all-around game and make light work of Hanfmann in the first round.
Pick: Sinner to win in three sets.
