Will Hanfmann be defeated by Munar in the first round?
Tournament kick-off in Kitzbühel! The Generali Open 2024 starts on Monday in Austria. Some German tennis pros are also taking part. Among them is Yannick Hanfmann – currently ranked 11th in the world by the ATP. The 32-year-old will face Jaume Munar in the first round and is – according to the best bookmakers – the underdog.
Betting odds of 2.40 are currently available for a Munar vs. Hanfmann bet on the man from Karlsruhe, which is certainly surprising, as his Spanish opponent has not made the best impression on clay recently.
Jaume Munar has lost four of his last five matches on clay this season. It is quite possible that his form crisis on the surface will continue against Yannick Hanfmann. Betting on this is definitely worth it

Jaume Munar – Statistics & current form
Jaume Munar is currently in a form crisis. Since the final match at the Challenger in Aix-En-Province almost two months ago, the Spanish tennis pro has not won two matches in a row. In his last ten matches, the 27-year-old has a meagre record of 3:7. Five of these seven defeats have been on clay.
Including at the ATP tournament in Hamburg. Jaume Munar lost there to Arthur Fils at the start of the tournament. The Spaniard lost the showdown against the French youngster 1:2 in three sets. Munar even led 1:0 in sets at one point, but the 59th-ranked player in the world then folded and lost the momentum
Continues Munar’s crisis of form?
Now the first round match against Yannick Hanfmann awaits. In Kitzbühel, the Spaniard is rated as the favorite, but the odds distribution with the betting providers without tax should not be overestimated in view of the recent form curve. Above all, Jaume Munar must work on his own service game in order to have a realistic chance of winning.
Otherwise, he could suffer another setback against a return player like Hanfmann. In Hamburg, the 27-year-old only won 63% of his points on his first serve, although this statistic is only attributable to the first set. In the following two sets, Munar played with a serve below the 50% mark.
Yannick Hanfmann – Statistics & current form
Yannick Hanfmann, like Jaume Munar, has lagged behind expectations of late. The Karlsruhe player has not won two matches in a row since March 2024. In Gstaad, the world number 11 started the ATP tournament with a win against Moreno de Alboran. However, he suffered a bitter defeat against Auger-Aliassime in the second round.
It was his fourth defeat in the last five matches on clay. Hanfmann has also lost to Novak Djokovic during this period. Anyone who still wants to bet on a victory for the 32-year-old at the tournament opener in Kitzbühel can use a free bet at the bookmakers.
The two players met almost three months ago at the ATP tournament in Monte Carlo. Hanfmann narrowly lost 1:2 to his Spanish opponent in three sets. The third set was particularly bitter, as Hanfmann led by a break at one point
Hanfmann defies his recent run of form?
It is all the more surprising that the bookmakers are currently offering odds of 2.40 for a Munar vs Hanfmann bet on the Karlsruhe player. The 32-year-old certainly has the potential to win the first round of the Generali Open 2024 – especially against a stumbling opponent like Jaume Munar.
Hanfmann did not make a bad impression in Switzerland recently. The defeat against Auger-Aliassime – currently ranked 18th in the world by the ATP – will be something the 32-year-old will be able to cope with. If the Karlsruhe player continues his recent two performances, it is obvious that he will win the match against Jaume Munar. This would also allow Hanfmann to level the Head-2-head
Jaume Munar – Yannick Hanfmann head-to-head comparison / H2H result
Jaume Munar and Yannick Hanfmann will meet for the fourth time in total. In the three previous encounters, the German tennis pro has only beaten the Spaniard once. Munar, on the other hand, has emerged victorious twice, including their most recent encounter just under three months ago in qualifying for the ATP tournament in Monte Carlo
Jaume Munar – Yannick Hanfmann tip
Both players are currently in a form crisis. While Jaume Munar has had to cope with some serious setbacks, Yannick Hanfmann has shown a slight upward trend. In Switzerland, Hanfmann played a strong first round of the tournament, but suffered a bitter defeat against Auger-Aliassime in the second round.
In contrast, Jaume Munar’s tournament adventure in Hamburg ended with his match against Arthur Fils. Despite leading the set, Munar still lost 1:2, which was mainly due to the Spaniard’s weak service game
We venture a Munar vs. Hanfmann bet on the German underdog and bet four out of ten possible units. Neither Munar nor Hanfmann have impressed in recent months. In recent matches, however, Hanfmann has made a better impression than the Spaniard. This makes the high prices on the Karlsruhe-based all the more surprising.
