Yannick Hanfmann vs Arthur Fils prediction

Yannick Hanfmann showed some encouraging signs at the Canadian Open as he defeated Roland Garros finalist Flavio Cobolli on his way to the third-round. However, his run would end after a straight sets defeat to Nuno Borges. His best result of the season so far was a run to the final in Santiago, where he lost to Luciano Darderi. Hanfmann won his first-round match at the Cincinnati Open after a straight sets victory over Luca Van Assche.

He now plays Arthur Fils, with the Frenchman receiving a bye in round one. Fils enjoyed his best result since his return from injury, as he advanced to the quarter-finals in Montreal. However, he was then beaten by Rafael Jodar for the second time in 10 days, following an earlier defeat in Washington. 

It’s a pretty quick turnaround for Fils, and this match is likely to test his fitness. The Frenchman leads the head-to-head 1-0 after an easy win in Monte-Carlo two years ago. Hanfmann should be able to keep this competitive, but Fils is a clear favourite.
