Arnaldi mad?

The Italian can transform when he is a good outsider, and Rublev can tense up when he is a favorite

And yes, we know Italian by heart. He will be excited by the event and playing Rublev. He lost against him indoors, but there on heavy clay, it's not the same. In the blocker position with the dry and tense strikes of the Russian, he can sublimate himself and cause tension. He has already taken sets from big players precisely because he loves being an outsider and releasing his forehand without too much tension. The second argument that makes me go in his favor is his 3 sets 0 victory against Muller. The match up was on his side but Muller is not a bad player at all (even if the slow clay doesn't benefit him at all). In any case, winning 3 sets 0 like this, without air gaps, without having to react while being behind, is not something super frequent for the Italian. I judge this to be a good gauge of his level. So he can go get something here for me...
