Yannick Hanfmann vs Luca van Assche prediction
Yannick Hanfmann is out to make it two wins from two against Luca van Assche in 2026. He was made to work for the first victory in Miami, but came through in three sets, winning 6-1, 5-7, 6-3. Key to that success was a good start and the German will want to repeat that here, putting his opponent under pressure early on, catching him flat-footed and taking control of rallies as early as possible.
It's worth noting that their match in Miami also took place outdoors on a hard court, so Hanfmann knows the formula to success. Whilst Luca van Assche is currently ranked higher, the big-hitting Hanfmann is better-suited to this environment and the surface. Therefore, backing him warrants serious consideration.
