INTRODUCTION

This is a clash between two German in the second day of the US Open where Hanfmann will take on Kohlschreiber. Incidentally this is the first time they are facing each other. Kohlschreiber will start as the favourite to get to the next round.



HANFMANN

Hanfmann mostly plays at lower ranked tournaments and he has played only six matches in the ATP tournaments. He has won just once out of those six matches he has played. He has never won an ATP title nor reached a final of an ATP tournament before. The one match he won was at an ATP tournament in Munich, where he managed to beat M. Baghdatis in the first round, but in the second round he lost to A. Zverev. In the other tournaments he was knocked out in the first round or qualifications. Needless to say that he had far more success on Challenger series tournaments where he won two titles, both on clay courts.



KOHLSCHREIBER

Kohlschreiber is ranked around 40th at the ATP rankings list. His best ranking was back in 2012 when he was no. 16 in the world. His win and loss ration for this season is at 18 wins and 20 losses. He has been a professional for 17 years and he has won eight ATP titles. Most of his wins were on German soil. This year he has not won a single tournament, but he came close in Munich where he was beaten in the final by A. Zverev. He did reached the quarter-finals of Masters in Indian Wells where he was beaten by J. M. Del Potro.
