Matteo Arnaldi

Professional qualities
Arnaldi shows his best tennis on clay. It can sometimes be difficult for him on the hard court, as he does not have a powerful serve in his arsenal. However, in Delray Beach, where coverage is quite slow, this can play into his hands. As for the Italian's strengths, it is especially worth noting his excellent footwork. Matteo easily gets to the balls, but sometimes he lacks the skill for high-quality processing, especially hitting in motion.
