Matteo Arnaldi, world number 38, wins in two sets against Shapovalov and reaches the round of 16 at the ATP Miami. In the American tournament, the 2001-born tennis player defeated the Canadian in two sets, thus earning the pass for the next round.
This victory is very important for the twenty-two-year-old, who dominated in the first set by breaking an opponent's serve and closing 6-3. The second set, however, was the more challenging one (despite a positive start by the Sanremo tennis player). After breaking a serve at the start of the match, Shapovalov recovered by also scoring on his opponent's serve.
Then the match went to a tiebreak, where Arnaldi came close to victory. But he was overtaken by the number 126 in the ATP ranking who reached setpoint. With some good exchanges, however, the Italian won the set and the match by winning 9-7 in the tiebreak.
