Andrey Rublev vs Matteo Arnaldi Prediction

Rublev Will Enter as the Favorite

World number six Andrey Rublev beat Pedro Martinez in straight sets on Wednesday to avoid a shock early exit at the Monte-Carlo Masters and set up a second-round clash against Italian qualifier Matteo Arnaldi.

The Russian, who won the Marseille Open in February for his ninth career title, will enter as the favorite against the world number 142, but Arnaldi has shown good form on clay this season.

Arnaldi Plays His Best Tennis on Clay

The Italian reached the semi-finals of the Marrakech Challenger last month and qualified for the main draw in Monte Carlo with a three-set win over Jozef Kovalik.

Arnaldi is a talented young player with a big forehand and a good all-court game. He will be a dangerous opponent for Rublev, especially on clay.
