Federico Agustin Gomez vs Matteo Arnaldi prediction
Federico Agustin Gomez made it three straight wins including qualifying as he beat Niels McDonald in straight sets. Gomez was broken when serving for the match at 6-5, but he quickly regained control in the tiebreak to win 6-3 7-6 (4).
He now takes on Matteo Arnaldi. The Italian lost his first-round match at Wimbledon to Quentin Halys in four sets. Arnaldi is now set to compete in his first tournament on clay since his incredible run to the semi-finals of Roland Garros. That has propelled Arnaldi to inside the top 35 of the world rankings after a tough spell with injuries. He also advanced to the semi-finals in Umag three years ago.
Gomez should be able to stay in touch with Arnaldi at times, but the latter’s consistency from the baseline could gradually wear his opponent down. Arnaldi seems to have rediscovered his level on this surface, and he will want to continue the momentum.
