After his shaky first-round win at Halle, Alexander Zverev aims for a more convincing win over countryman Yannick Hanfmann in the second round of the 2026 Terra Wortmann Cup on Thursday.
Alexander Zverev extended his winning streak to 8 matches following a three-set win over Vit Kopriva 6-3, 4-6, 6-2. Zverev, who is coming off his first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros, sports a solid 66.7 percent win rate on grass but failed to win a grass-court title last year despite reaching the final of both tournaments in Stuttgart and Halle. At the 2025 Wimbledon Open, Zverev absorbed a first-round defeat to Arthur Rinderknech 6-7,7-6, 3-6, 7-6, 4-6.
Yannick Hanfmann decimated Joao Fonseca 6-2, 6-2 to clinch his spot in the second round at Halle. Hanffmann, who boasts a 23-23 record on grass, will need to deliver a much better form in his next match if he wants to pull off an upset against the streaking Zverev. Hanfmann has a 1-11 record against the ATP top-5.

Our Alexander Zverev vs Yannick Hanfmann Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Alexander Zverev blasts Yannick Hanfmann 6-3, 6-3 to reach the quarterfinals of the 2026 Halle Open.
Despite a too-close-for-comfort victory over Vit Kopriva, Zverev should deliver a sharper and stronger performance in the next round now that he has already acclimatized himself to the court conditions at Halle.
Hanfmann, who will be playing Zverev for the first time since losing to the fellow German 7-6, 4-6, 2-6, at the 2018 Munich Open, has one win over a top-5 caliber player in his career.
While Hanfmann has yet to drop a service game after two grass-court matches this year, he may not be able to sustain this form on the serve against Zverev, who is converting 41 percent of breakpoints this year.
