Yannick Hanfmann takes on Thiago Monteiro in the first round of the BMW Open in Munich. The winner of this match is scheduled to take on the top seed Holger Rune in this outdoor clay court tournament. Hanfmann begins this tournament at 112th in the live rankings. He's been playing on clay courts a great deal this year, including four tournaments in South America. He twice lost in the qualifying rounds but improved to reach a quarter final in Santiago. The German then headed to Houston for their clay court tournament, where he reached the last four. He won five matches to get to the semi-finals, including a win over Tommy Paul. His best run in Munich has been twice reaching the last 16.

Thiago Monteiro is 89th in the live rankings and has only once made it to the last 16 of this tournament. The Brazilian has had an up and down year to date with only five wins and ten defeats. On the South American clay court season he lost three of his first four matches before a run to the last eight in Santiago which included a three-set win over Albert Ramos-Vinolas who was ranked 50th at the time. This is his first tournament of the European clay court season and takes on Hanfmann for the first time in his career. His opponent is in the better form though and can get the win here.
