Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Yannick Hanfmann, a 32-year-old player from Germany, is ranked at World No. 95 and achieved his career-high ranking of No. 45 in July 2023. In the year 2024, he has a record of 20 wins and 20 losses, with 2 semi-final appearances. In the current tournament in Chengdu, he has won all of his matches and reached the semi-finals.

Some notable achievements in Hanfmann’s career include breaking into the Top 100 in 2018 and defeating the No. 5 player, Stefanos Tsitsipas, at the 2023 Mallorca tournament en route to his 6th ATP Tour semi-final. He also defeated the No. 9 player, Taylor Fritz, in the second round and the No. 6 player, Andrey Rublev, in the fourth round to reach his first ATP Masters 1000 quarter-final at the 2023 Rome tournament. Hanfmann qualified for his first ATP Tour final at the 2017 Gstaad tournament and his second final at the 2020 Kitzbuhel tournament.

Hanfmann’s first victory against a top 10 player came in 2020 when he defeated the No. 9 player, Gael Monfils, at the Hamburg tournament. Additionally, he won his first main draw match at a Grand Slam tournament at the 2022 Australian Open.

The current tournament is taking place at the Sichuan International Tennis Center in Chengdu, China, from September 18th to 24th, 2024. Hanfmann is looking to reach his third ATP Tour final, following his previous finals at the 2017 Gstaad tournament and the 2020 Kitzbuhel tournament, both of which were played on clay. If he reaches the final, he will become the second German player after Alexander Zverev, who won the title last year, to reach the Chengdu final.

Shang Juncheng, a 19-year-old player from China, is currently ranked at World No. 67 and achieved his career-high ranking of No. 66 in September 2024. In the year 2024, he has a record of 21 wins and 13 losses, with 3 semi-final appearances. In the ongoing Chengdu tournament, he has also won all his matches and reached the semi-finals.

Shang made history in

May 2024 by becoming the first Chinese teenager to break into the Top 100 in the PIF ATP Rankings history (since 1973). He achieved his biggest wins of his career against the No. 16 player, Frances Tiafoe, to reach his first ATP Tour semi-final in Hong Kong, and the No. 14 player, Sam Shelton, en route to his second semi-final at the 2024 Atlanta tournament. He also reached the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time at the 2024 Australian Open, becoming the first Chinese man to achieve this feat in the Open Era.

Shang made his ATP Tour debut at the 2022 Rio de Janeiro tournament as a wild card entry, and his first tour-level win came at the 2023 Australian Open, where he defeated Oscar Otte in the first round as a qualifier. He has a record of 37 wins and 27 losses on the ATP Challenger Tour, with his first title coming at the 2022 Lexington tournament.

In his previous ATP Tour semi-finals, Shang has a record of 0-2, having lost to Andrey Rublev in the 2024 Hong Kong semi-finals and to Jordan Thompson in the 2024 Atlanta semi-finals. He hopes to become the second player born in 2005 or later to reach an ATP Tour final, following 18-year-old Lukas Mensik’s performance at the 2024 Doha tournament, where he lost to Karen Khachanov. Shang would also join Wu Yibing as the only Chinese ATP Tour finalists, alongside the winner of the semi-final match between Bu Yunchaokete and Zhang Zhizhen in Hangzhou.

This would be the third time that a Chinese player has reached the ATP Tour final, with Wu Yibing and either Bu Yunchaokete or Zhang Zhizhen being the other two finalists. The previous Chinese players to reach the semi-finals were Pan Bing in 1995 Seoul, Wu Yibing in 2023 Dallas (where he won the title), Zhang Zhizhen in 2023 Hamburg, Shang Juncheng in 2024 Atlanta, and Zhang Zhizhen in 2024 Halle.

In the potential singles finals of the tournament, there might be a match between Yannick Hanfmann and Shang Juncheng.
