Yannick Hanfmann lost just three games in a dominant first-round performance on Monday at the BCI Seguros Chile Open, where he cruised past Serbian Dusan Lajovic 6-0, 6-3.

Hanfmann, who leads Lajovic 2-0 in the pair’s Lexus ATP Head2Head series, is a two-time quarter-finalist at the ATP 250 event in Santiago. The 34-year-old German hit 22 winners against Lajovic and will next play fourth seed Camilo Ugo Carabelli.

Italian qualifier Andrea Pellegrino earned his third tour-level win and first this season with a 6-2, 2-6, 6-1 win against Argentine qualifier Alex Barrena. Pellegrino won the doubles title in Santiago in 2023 with Andrea Vavassori.

“It feels great to win,” Pellegrino said. “When you come from the qualies after winning some matches, it is always great. In the first set, I started very well with good intensity and he was missing a little too much. And second set it was 2-2 and I went a little bit lower with my level and he played much better. The third set is always a fight.”
