Matteo Arnaldi wins the third round by coming from behind to beat world number 8 Alex De Minaur with a score of 4-6, 7-6, 6-4.
The comeback in the rain
The blue turned the match around after losing the first set, winning the tie-break in the second and then closing the match in the third set. A victory achieved in difficult conditions, also due to the rain.
“It’s even more beautiful in the rain,” said Arnaldi immediately after the success. “Winning like this, in front of the Italian public, is something I would never have imagined.”
Now the challenge with Jodar
In the third round Arnaldi will face the Spaniard Jodar. «All matches are difficult, but here I am at home, even against Jodar I am sure it will be a crazy match», he added.
