The two have never played — a first meeting always adds a layer of uncertainty the numbers can't fully capture.
There's a wide gap in our ratings on clay, and our number follows from it. Hanfmann comes in off a compressed schedule. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Hanfmann fractionally more likely to land the big points.
