Yannick Hanfmann is in the quarterfinals in Houston

In Houston, of course, the schedule is still extremely out of joint: Tommy Paul, for example, played his first points of the tournament in the round of 16 duel with Yannick Hanfmann on Saturday morning (local time). The final should rise on Sunday tomorrow. In any case, Paul rarely found his best game on Saturday, the American had to admit defeat to a strong Yannick Hanfmann 7:6 (6) and 6:2.

After his opening win against the Japanese Yosuke Watanuki, Hanfmann had to be patient at the clay court tournament in the Texan metropolis. The game was originally scheduled for Thursday, but constant rain threw a spanner in the works for the organizers.

The number one of the tournament, Frances Tiafoe, is also in the quarterfinals. The American showed his best side against Steve Johnson and clearly won in two sets. Later on Saturday (local time) Tiafoe meets Jason Kubler. For Yannick Hanfmann, the round of eight is about the winner in the duel between Tomas Machac and Marcos Giron.
