Marcos Giron vs Yannick Hanfmann Preview
Marcos Giron and Yannick Hanfmann are set to clash in the quarterfinals of the Hellenic Championships in Athens. Giron, ranked No. 72, enters this match with a 21-26 record in the 2025 season. The American has demonstrated flashes of strong form, reaching quarterfinals at several ATP 250 events, yet has struggled to advance deeper in tournaments, facing early-round exits frequently.
On the other hand, Yannick Hanfmann is ranked No. 117 and holds a 9-12 record this year. The 33-year-old German has split his season between ATP qualifiers and Challenger tournaments. Notably, he secured a Challenger title in Hagen and made it to the third round in Shanghai last September. Both players are eager to secure their first tour-level semifinal appearance of the year, making this encounter a crucial opportunity to end their seasons on a high note.
Head-to-Head
This quarterfinal will mark only the second meeting between Giron and Hanfmann. Currently, Giron leads their head-to-head 1-0 after defeating Hanfmann 2-6, 7-5, 6-1, 7-5 in the first round of the Australian Open earlier this year.

Prediction
Both players are seeking a significant run to finish their seasons positively. Giron has displayed improvement throughout the tournament, breaking a three-match losing streak with confident straight-set victories over Pedro Martínez and the fourth seed Brandon Nakashima.
Since the US Open, Giron has a 5-6 record and tends to perform well against players ranked below him, though he faces challenges against higher-ranked opponents. Hanfmann, meanwhile, combines Challenger success with moderate ATP results; besides his third-round appearance in Shanghai, consistency has eluded him.
Having advanced through qualifying in Athens and securing a tough second-round win over Vit Kopriva, Hanfmann has shown resilience. However, Giron’s cleaner baseline game, recent momentum, and strong form this week give him the edge.
Prediction: Expect Giron to win in straight sets and secure a spot in the semifinals.
Betting Tips
