German players Yannick Hanfmann and Jan-Lennard Struff are on the match card on day 4 of ATP Munich as the round of 16 will complete (weather permitting). Holger Rune one of the tournament favorites also takes to the court. Here is your look at all the action.
Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Taro Daniel
Daniel briefly reached the top 60 this season and is 7-11 on the season, the Japanese player prefers clay. Auger-Aliassime is 10-10 on the year and needed three tiebreaks to win his opening match in Munich. FAA’s record on clay is well below his results on any other surface, though he should be the favorite to win this match, conditions like ripe for Daniel to notch an upset. Daniel in 3
Botic van de Zandschulp vs Jan-Lennard Struff
van de Zandschulp won their only meeting, Struff is 8-10 on the year but showing some signs of improvement on clay after a good effort in Monte Carlo. The Dutch player isn’t the home player here against Germany’s Struff, but he sure likes this venue, reaching consecutive finals in Munich and losing both to Holger Rune. van de Zandschulp is off his best game and Struff’s form is impressive right now.

Daniel Elahi Galan vs Holger Rune
At 5-9 on the year Elahi Galan has not been able to make any runs all season, he has always had a good record on clay but has fallen off since last year’s breakthrough campaign. The former top 5 player Rune is already 16-9 on the season with an ATP final, and he comes off the quarterfinals of Monte Carlo. Galan is a credible opponent but Rune should be in cruise control.

Yannick Hanfmann vs Marc-Andrea Husler
At 8-12 on the year and with credible results on clay, home player Hanfmann is an intriguing player this tournament. The qualifier Husler has been hanging around the tour level for a couple of seasons and has found some success on clay, Hanfmann looks like a player that is a step above his usual level though.
