The Italian Job ?

Norrie is not the top seed that scares the most, Arnaldi seizes the opportunity and will offer himself a gala match against Alcaraz?

Very nice victory for Arnaldi against Fils, almost 4 hours of matches and the Italian really showed consistency throughout the match. A profile a little similar to De Minaur at times I find, a fairly flat backhand and a lot of patience in the rally. Opposed to Norrie this match will obviously be physical given their profiles, fortunately for the Italian he took advantage of a very very fast first round and even if his match against son was long he should be able to hold on to another big fight tomorrow . What was winded for Norrie in the previous round, he even saved a set point. His level of play is worrying at times, I find that in the forehand it is far from being famous what he offers, we have seen him try to round off but it is too often short and he can punish behind. A very boring flat backhand to play for his opponents so logically Arnaldi should press his forehand when he can. The British is in a complicated period but thanks to his seriousness, his work and his mentality he still manages to save the furniture. But until when ?
