Lorenzo Sonego vs Yannick Hanfmann prediction
Lorenzo Sonego will be confident he has the game-plan to beat Yannick Hanfmann.
The Italian has won both of their tour-level matches, including a narrow 7-5 2-6 7-6 success in Adelaide last year.
The world number 44 has also won two other lower tier encounters with the German, who did win a final in Ismaning way back in 2017 in their very first showdown.
Sonego hasn’t been at his best of late with a disappointing US Open part of a run of one win in five.
In contrast, Hanfmann has been developing a winning habit in Challengers and did not drop a set in qualifying.
However, just six wins at the top tier in 2025 tells a story and when you throw in their head-to-head history, Sonego should find the same patterns to prevail once more.
