    Matteo Arnaldi Player Overview

    Matteo Arnaldi has found his rhythm at the current tournament, notching up wins over some well-known names, including Stefanos Tsitsipas and Raphael Collignon. He has claimed victory in nine of his last ten matches, suffering just a single defeat-a strong run of form, though perhaps less impressive than his opponent’s recent results. Arnaldi holds a slight edge over Tiafoe in terms of service games won (81%), but his overall set-winning percentage is noticeably lower. He converts break points at a rate of 38%, yet his double fault percentage is higher (5% compared to his rival’s 3%), which could prove to be a vulnerability for the Italian.
