Alexander Zverev def. Yannick Hanfmann 6-3, 7(7)-6(4) — Halle Open 2026 R16

Match recap

Alexander Zverev defeated Yannick Hanfmann 6-3, 7(7)-6(4) in the R16 of the Halle Open 2026.

Zverev won 60% of his second-serve points to Hanfmann's 47%, and that 13-point gap was the whole difference in a tidy 6-3, 7-6(4) win. The Halle leg of his post-Roland-Garros grass swing turned on back-to-back breaks in games 8 and 9 of the first set; the second went to a tiebreak with neither serve cracked, Hanfmann's 8 aces not enough to flip it.
