Rafael Jodar vs Yannick Hanfmann prediction

Yannik Hanfmann has continued his strong end to 2025 by propelling himself back into the top 100.

The German sat at 159 in the world as recently as September but is now up to 64 after reaching the final in Santiago last time out.

The 34-year-old will need to transition back to hardcourt, but this should suit his hefty serve against a young qualifier, who has picked up one or two decent wins on tour in 2026.

Rafael Jodar beat Cam Norrie in Acapulco and also took down rising American Ethan Quinn at Delray Beach as the 19-year-old shows flashes of his potential.

This could be one that goes the distance and we’d usually see Hanfmann as very vulnerable here, but given his excellent form and consistency in recent months, we think his experience and confidence should see him through in the end.
