Yannick Hanfmann put in a strong performance in the first round of the BCI Seguros Chile Open on Monday, losing just three games to easily beat Serbian Dusan Lajovic 6-0, 6-3.
Hanfmann leads Lajovic 2-0 in the Lexus ATP Head2Head Series and has reached the quarterfinals twice at the ATP 250 event in San Diego. The 34-year-old German hit 22 winners against Lajovic and will next face fourth seed Camilo Hugo Carabelli.
Italian qualifier Andrea Pellegrino earned his third tour-level victory and first of the season, defeating Argentinian qualifier Alex Barrena 6-2, 2-6, 6-1. Pellegrino won the Tag Team Championship in 2023 with Andrea Vavassori in Santiago.
“It feels great to win,” Pellegrino said. “It’s always great when you come back from qualifying after winning some games. In the first set I started really well, with a lot of intensity, and he missed so much. The second set was 2-2, I was a little bit lower and he played better. The third set is always a battle.”
