Wouldn’t it be surprising if a 23-year-old blooming tennis star served the world no.6 with a brutal defeat at the Roland Garros? The situation is no longer hypothetical as Matteo Arnaldi, a young Italian ATP star, made immense efforts to turn this hypothesis into a reality. However, besides marking an end to Andrey Rublev‘s run for the French Open title, there’s a lot more to know about this interestingly active athlete.

Born on 22nd February 2001 in Italy, Matteo Arnaldi is currently ranked at number 35 in the world. The 23-year-old developed a liking for sports from his early days. Growing up with a father who was a professional swimmer, the ATP star possessed a liking for the water sport before picking a racquet.

Along with that, he also enjoys his time floating through the snow as the Italian mentions that he’s a big fan of skiing. Moving on from the hands-on approach to being a spectator, the tennis star is also known to love speed as he enjoys watching racing sports like Moto GP and Formula 1.

While these are the activities that he spares time for, Matteo Arnaldi is mainly known for his massive presence on the tennis courts. Looking at the current season, he not only brought Andrey Rublev to his knees at the Roland Garros but also served a defeat to Alexander Bublik along with giving a tough fight to the young Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.

With a career-high ranking of number 35, the Italian is yet to start adding titles to his portfolio. With a notable $1,758,560 as total prize money, the tennis star continues to grow on his path to attain glory!
