Joao Fonseca vs Yannick Hanfmann prediction
Joao Fonseca produced his best run at a Grand Slam last time out. The Brazilian came from two sets down against Dino Prizmic and Novak Djokovic, before producing another fine display to beat Casper Ruud. However, his run would come to an end after a defeat to fellow youngster Jakub Mensik. Fonseca now returns for the grass court season, having lost in the first-round of this event last year after an epic match with Flavio Cobolli.
He plays Yannick Hanfmann in the first-round. The German competed in Stuttgart last time out, winning his opening match against Aleksandar Kovacevic but then losing to Mattia Bellucci. He has just the one victory at this event, despite six previous appearances.
Fonseca will be viewed as the clear favourite to advance, especially given his recent form, but he is still inexperienced on grass, and he will have to adapt quickly in this first-round match.
Joao Fonseca vs Yannick Hanfmann tip: Over 22.5 games
