🔍 Match Breakdown
Both players have games built for Munich’s altitude clay—big serves, aggressive groundstrokes, and short-point tactics. Hanfmann has beaten Griekspoor twice on clay, but his inability to maintain momentum this season and a history of early exits in Munich are concerns.
Griekspoor’s superior 2025 form and recent final in Marrakech suggest he's more likely to stay composed under pressure and take control in key moments. He’ll look to attack early and avoid prolonged exchanges with the German.
🔮 Prediction
Pick: Griekspoor to win in straight sets
Hanfmann will have the crowd and favorable conditions, but Griekspoor’s form, consistency, and clean hitting on clay should see him through to the quarterfinals.
