Good morning OA Sport friends, what a day we have in Madrid! Here, we will take care of offering you the Live broadcast of the debut match of the number 3 seed of the Spanish Masters 1000, Daniil Medvedevopposite to Matteo Arnaldi.
The blue player plays this tournament for the second time in his career, in which he defends the 3rd round of 2023, when he beat the then world number 4 Casper Ruud in 2 sets before surrendering to Munar. Today, another business is needed, 365 days later against Daniil Medvedev, Slam and ATP Finals champion, as well as 7-time Masters 1000 champion.
We need the perfect match, even if the Russian has never gotten along too well with the Madrid tournament. There feeling is that Arnaldi has a great opportunity to achieve the most important victory of his young career. In the 1st round the Ligurian brilliantly beat Chris O’Connell 6-4, 6-1. After a rather complicated first half, Alessandro Petrone’s student left crumbs both on serve and on return, even finishing with 7 aces in the set.
The tactic will be very simple, take away the time and rhythm from the Russian “octopus”, taking advantage of the speed of the surface and making the exchanges quick by opening the court with the serve. All of this is obviously very easy to say, but less easy to implement in the field. The match is scheduled as the third on court 3Where the out is very narrow and for the Russian this certainly represents a very heavy handicap. He will also be very annoyed by the light-shadow effect that will be created if the clouds do not cover the sky in the Madrid afternoon.
In short, there is much to hope for. All that remains is to wish you a good continuation with the Live broadcast of the 2nd round match between Matteo Arnaldi and Daniil Medvedev, who will start as 3rd on court 3 after Azarenka-Sorribes and Ostapenko-Carle.
