Command Analysis
Matteo Arnaldi
ItalyCurrent form
Arnaldi has played only one match on clay this season. He played it last week at the Monte Carlo Masters, where he lost to Richard Gasquet in the first round. Matteo has eight wins and eight losses this season.
Professional qualities
Arnaldi is a typical representative of tennis players who focus on dirt surfaces. From a young age, he got used to playing on slow courts, which noticeably influenced his playing style. Serving is not his main trump card, but a diagonal forehand is one of the most stable and dangerous shots in his arsenal. Although Matteo has a fairly confident two-handed backhand, he often prefers to run ahead to attack with a forehand.
Current indicators in the tour
Arnaldi won his last trophy on the clay courts of Heilbronn in 2023. It was the sixth title of his career for him. The 24-year-old Italian is currently in 40th place in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Arnaldi was last year's quarterfinalist in Barcelona.
Sebastian Korda
USACurrent form
Last week, Korda took part in the Monte Carlo Masters, during which he failed to overcome the opening lap, losing to Jiri Lehechka. For the American, it was the first match on clay this season.
Professional qualities
Korda is an aggressive tennis player based on powerful shots and constant pressure. Its effectiveness largely depends on psychological stability, and it is often the mood for the game that determines the outcome of the meeting. Sebastian is confident on both sides, but he gives special preference to the diagonal forehand, although the American's backhand can be called effective.
