Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

3R: Alejandro Davidovich Fokina from Spain will face Matteo Arnaldi from Italy in their first meeting. Davidovich Fokina is currently 25 years old and ranked world No. 42, with a career-best ranking of No. 21 in August 2023. In 2024, he has a win-loss record of 15-15, including 3 quarter-finals. In the previous year, he achieved his career-best year-end ranking of No. 26 for the eighth consecutive year.

Davidovich Fokina made headlines by breaking Novak Djokovic’s serve nine times in their match at the Monte Carlo 2R, setting a record for the most breaks against Djokovic in a best-of-3-set match. This victory propelled him to his first ATP Tour final at the 2022 ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo.

He reached his first Grand Slam quarter-final at the 2021 Roland Garros and his first ATP Masters 1000 quarter-final at the 2021 Monte Carlo, where he defeated Ruud in a thrilling 5-set match. In his junior career, he ended as the world No. 2 after winning the Wimbledon boys’ singles title and having an impressive 20-1 record in 2017.

Off the court, Davidovich Fokina is known for his love for cats and his involvement in the pet adoption platform, Adoptas.org, which helps connect people who want to adopt or foster pets with shelters and rescues in Spain.

Despite his recent successes, Davidovich Fokina has dropped to No. 52 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings and needs to reach the quarter-finals to avoid falling outside the top 50 for the first time since January 2022. He has already earned his third Top 5 win of his career by defeating

Medvedev in the 2R.

On the other hand, Matteo Arnaldi, aged 23, is currently ranked world No. 46, with a career-best ranking of No. 34 in June 2024. He made remarkable progress in his rankings, breaking into the top 500 in September 2021, top 200 in August 2022, top 100 in May 2023, and top 50 in September 2023.

Arnaldi’s achievements include reaching his first ATP Tour quarter-final and semi-final at the 2023 Umag and his first Grand Slam fourth round at the 2023 US Open. He also qualified for the 3R at the 2023 ATP Masters 1000 Madrid, where he defeated the No. 4 ranked player, Ruud, marking the biggest win of his career. Just a week prior, he earned his first career ATP Tour win in Barcelona by defeating Munar.

In the Challenger circuit, Arnaldi has a record of 59-39, with 4 finals appearances and one title on home soil at Francavilla al Mare. He reached a career-high junior ranking of No. 22, with an impressive singles record of 80-42 (including 3 titles) and a doubles record of 34-35 (including 2 titles).

Arnaldi aims to reach his fourth ATP Tour quarter-final, which would be his biggest achievement to date. In the current season, he has already reached the quarter-finals in Umag, Brisbane, and Barcelona. Additionally, if two out of three Italians, including Arnaldi, Cobolli, and Sinner, reach the quarter-finals, it will mark the fifth time that multiple Italians have reached the ATP Masters 1000 quarter-finals, and the second time on hard courts (previously achieved by Berrettini and Fognini at the 2019 Shanghai Masters).
