Match recap

Valentin Vacherot defeated Yannick Hanfmann 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the R16 of the Swiss Open Gstaad 2026.

Four break points were all Vacherot needed. The No. 3 seed cashed 2 of 4 while saving 7 of 8 on his own serve, as Yannick Hanfmann went 1 of 8 — nothing after his game-1 break in the opener. The second set flipped it. Valentin Vacherot broke in game 2 for 2-0 behind six of his 12 aces, then in game 3 of the decider for 2-1, and never dropped serve again. Hanfmann held 12 of 14 times and matched Vacherot at 62 percent on second-serve points, but landed only half his first serves and lost the points count 99-86. At 2 hours, 9 minutes, the comeback puts the Monte-Carlo semifinalist into the Swiss Open Gstaad quarterfinals in the pair's first meeting on record.
