MatteoArnaldi

Arnaldi emerged as one of the next generation of Italian tennis standouts, turning professional at 18 and quickly building his game through the Challenger circuit before breaking into the ATP Tour. He reached a career-high singles ranking of No. 30 in August 2024, after advancing to his first ATP Masters 1000 semifinal in Montreal that year. He also reached the fourth round at the 2023 US Open and the 2024 French Open. At the ATP Masters 1000 Madrid, he has notched notable wins over top-ranked opponents, defeating No. 4 Ruud in 2023 and No. 5 Djokovic en route to the 2025 quarterfinal. He was also part of Italy's victorious 2023 Davis Cup team. Off the court, Arnaldi enjoys swimming, skiing, and watching MotoGP and Formula 1 — with Valentino Rossi as his idol.
