The round of 32 match of China Open 2023 between Carlos Alcaraz vs Yannick Hanfmann will take place on September 29.
Carlos Alcaraz’s stunning Wimbledon win over Novak Djokovic hinted at a breakthrough, but subsequent North American hardcourt events saw him relinquish the world #1 ranking. Post-Wimbledon, he hasn’t secured titles and faced difficulties, including sets lost to players like Tommy Paul, Hubert Hurkacz, Max Purcell, and Dan Evans. Losing the US Open title and #1 ranking to Djokovic was disheartening, yet there’s no need for panic. Alcaraz, due to fitness issues, played sparingly post-US Open. He now has an opportunity to mount a strong comeback in the coming months and potentially regain the top spot before the season concludes. In 2019’s full Asian swing, Alcaraz wasn’t even in the top 400, and his solitary Asian outing last year resulted in a straight-set defeat to David Goffin in ATP Astana.
After a six-year absence from the Asian swing, Yannick Hanfmann made a comeback earlier this year, defeating Dusan Lajovic and Miomir Kecmanovic in straight sets to secure a main-draw spot, marking his first appearance in this part of the tennis circuit. Yannick Hanfmann has been having a successful season on the main tour, reaching a career-high ranking of #45 in the ATP rankings. However, he has yet to achieve notable results on non-clay surfaces in the past nine months. Surprisingly, he hasn’t secured a main-draw victory on hard courts this year despite his overall success.
