Holger Rune vs Matteo Arnaldi prediction

Holger Rune made a run to the fourth-round of Roland Garros as he lost to Lorenzo Musetti in four sets. The Dane has struggled with injury and illness this season but has still shown his undoubted quality and ended up being the only player to defeat Carlos Alcaraz during the entire clay court season. He beat the Spaniard in the final of the Barcelona Open and also made the final of Indian Wells earlier in the year. Rune’s best run at Wimbledon was a quarter-final finish in 2023.

He goes up against Matteo Arnaldi in the first-round of Queens. Arnaldi would lose to compatriot Flavio Cobolli in the second-round of the French Open in his final event on clay. He began his campaign on the grass last week in Stuttgart but was defeated by Jan-Lennard Struff in the first-round. 

Rune won their only previous match in the second-round of the Paris Masters last year and we can see a similar result against the Italian, who has never been particularly effective on grass so far in his career.

Holger Rune vs Matteo Arnaldi tip: Less than 19.5 games
