Hanfmann and Berrettini are on the Day 5 Schedule at Generali Open 2024 on Friday 26 July 2024. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.
Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Yannick Hanfmann, a 32-year-old German tennis player ranked No. 116 in the world and with a career-high ranking of No. 45 in July 2023, will be facing Matteo Berrettini from Italy in their first meeting.
Hanfmann, who is hearing-impaired, broke into the Top 100 in 2018 and achieved his career-high ranking after that. In 2024, he has a win-loss record of 15-19, with his best performance being a semifinal appearance in Kitzbuhel. He has a 10-5 record in Kitzbuhel, reaching the final in 2020.
One of Hanfmann’s notable accomplishments was defeating No. 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas at the 2023 Mallorca tournament on his way to reaching his sixth ATP Tour semifinal. He also defeated No. 9 Taylor Fritz in the second round and No. 6 Andrey Rublev in the fourth round to reach his first ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal at the 2023 Rome tournament.
Hanfmann qualified for his first ATP Tour final at the 2017 Gstaad tournament and reached his second final at the 2020 Kitzbuhel tournament. He achieved his first Top 10 win by defeating No. 9 Gael Monfils at the 2020 Hamburg tournament, where he accepted a main draw wild card instead of playing the qualifying rounds at Roland Garros. Furthermore, he secured his first main draw win in a Grand Slam event at the 2022 Australian Open as a qualifier.
Prior to his professional career, Hanfmann played for the University of Southern California from 2012 to 2015 and contributed to the team winning two NCAA national titles. Currently, Hanfmann is aiming for his third ATP Tour final after his previous ones in 2017 Gstaad and 2020 Kitzbuhel, and he hopes to break an eight-match losing streak against players ranked in the Top 50. A win in the semifinals would also bring him back inside the Top 100 on the PIF ATP Live Rankings for the first time in a month.
On the
other hand, Matteo Berrettini, a 28-year-old Italian player ranked No. 50 in the world and with a career-high ranking of No. 6, has a record of 19-5 in 2024, including winning two titles. Berrettini achieved his career-high ranking after reaching the semifinals of the 2022 Australian Open. He became the third-highest-ranked Italian player since the start of the PIF ATP Rankings in 1973, with Jannik Sinner holding the top spot in 2024 and Adriano Panatta reaching No. 4 in 1976.
Berrettini made history at the 2021 Wimbledon tournament, becoming the first Italian men’s singles finalist in the tournament’s history. He was also the first Italian men’s singles finalist at a Grand Slam event since Panatta at the 1976 Roland Garros. Furthermore, Berrettini is the first Italian man to reach the quarterfinals of all four Grand Slam events and the first to secure a win at the Nitto ATP Finals, defeating Dominic Thiem in the 2019 round-robin stage.
Berrettini has an impressive record of 42 wins and 11 losses on grass, including winning four of his nine ATP Tour titles. He achieved a notable feat by winning the London/Queen’s Club titles in 2021 and 2022, becoming the first player in the Open Era to win titles in each of his first two appearances at that event. He has also recorded significant victories over No. 3 Dominic Thiem at the 2021 ATP Cup and No. 3 Casper Ruud at the 2023 United Cup team final.
Currently, Berrettini is enjoying an eight-match winning streak, having claimed the title at Gstaad and winning all of his ATP Tour clay semifinals. He has a remarkable 13-1 record on clay this year, with his only loss coming against Kecmanovic at the ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo in April. Berrettini aims to become the first Italian finalist in Kitzbuhel since Paolo Lorenzi won the title in 2016.
