Daniil Medvedev vs Matteo Arnaldi preview
Except for his last appearance at the Monte Carlo Masters, Medvedev has been exceptional in his performance in the 2024 season. He started the year with a runners-up title at the Australian Open and then went on to enter the semifinals of the Dubai Tennis Championships where he was defeated by Ugo Humbert.
At the Indian Wells Open, he again entered the final but unfortunately had to face defeat against Carlos Alcaraz, which was followed by another semi-final finish at the Miami Open as Jannik Sinner stopped him from entering the final by defeating him 6-1, 6-2.
Arnaldi has been fighting hard to get back to form in the current season. His best finishes were at the Brisbane International and Barcelona Open where he entered the quarter-final stage. He has also been to the second round of the Australian Open in 2024.
The Italian enjoyed a good run at the Miami Open where he entered the round of 16 by winning three matches but was defeated by Tomas Machac in straight sets. Before entering the Madrid Open, he entered the quarter-final of the Barcelona Open by winning three successive matches. His campaign ended with a loss against Casper Ruud.
