During his first ATP Santiago tournament in 2022, Pedro Martinez won his first ATP title. Three of his four matches went the full distance, so he had to overcome some difficult obstacles. Nevertheless, he was able to defeat Yannick Hanfmann in the quarterfinals in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2. It will be very difficult for the Spaniard to defend or even come close to winning his title this week given his recent form and physical state during the South American clay swing. He has lost five of his last six games and hasn’t been in the best physical shape during this South American clay swing.
The weekend’s qualifying competition in Santiago went well for Yannick Hanfmann. He performed admirably, only giving up two games in his matches against Carlos Taberner and Andrea Pellegrino in QR1 and QR2, respectively. The 31-year-old has qualified for the Australian Open and Buenos Aires twice already this year, making this his third successful qualifying campaign on the main tour. However, he suffered difficult defeats in the opening stages of those competitions, falling to Francisco Cerundolo in Buenos Aires in three sets and Rinky Hijikata at the Australian Open in a gruelling five-set match.
