Matteo Arnaldi vs Daniel Altmaier prediction
Matteo Arnaldi struggled at times in 2025, with his ranking dropping to 62 in the world. There were highlights, as he made the semi-finals at the Delray Beach Open and backed that up with three quarter-finals in Dallas, Madrid and Geneva, but he only picked up a solitary Grand Slam victory and ended the campaign with a negative win-loss record.
Daniel Altmaier is up to his highest ranking of 46 as he starts his campaign in 2026. The highlight of his season was making it through to the round-of-16 at Roland Garros for the second time in his career, while he also managed to make it into round three of the US Open. Moreover, Altmaier progressed to three quarter-finals in Rotterdam, Marseille and Metz.
Arnaldi leads to the head-to-head 1-0 after coming from a set down to beat Almaier last year in Washington. The Italian seems refreshed and comes into this one with a point to prove.
