Matteo Arnaldi in the round of 16 of Roland Garros. The Sanremo player emerged victorious from a battle lasting over five hours with the Belgian – number 62 in the world – Raphael Collignon and returned to the fourth round in Paris after two years: 6-4 6-7 (5) 5-7 6-4 7-6 (4) in four hours and 58 minutes the score in favor of the 25-year-old Ligurian, who gives continuity to the victories against Tallon Griekspoor (first round) and Stefanos Tsitsipas (second round) and will certainly return to the top 100 at the end of the tournament.

Arnaldi will play for a place in the quarter-finals with the winner of the match between Frances Tiafoe and Jaime Faria.
