Stefanos Tsitsipas and Matteo Arnaldi made it to the second week of the French Open and are set to face each other on Sunday. Both of them have made it to this stage of the tournament with relative ease, dropping just one set each along the way.
Tsitsipas entered the French Open as one of the favorites to and is living up to expectations. He is playing in all three formats that he is eligible to take part in, men’s singles, men’s doubles, and mixed doubles. In singles, he took out Marton Fucsovics, Daniel Altmaier and Zhizhen Zhang, with just one hiccup against Altmaier in the third set.
This is just the second time Arnaldi has made it past the third round at a Grand Slam event, having made the fourth round in last year’s US Open. In an impressive display of tennis, Arnaldi knocked out Andrey Rublev, the World No.6, in the third round, in three perfect sets.

Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Matteo Arnaldi: Match Prediction
Both players are in great form, exhibiting a high level of tennis that has propelled them into the deep end of a Grand Slam. Arnaldi is exceeding expectations by taking out Rublev, who recently won the Madrid Open, in straight sets, showing that he is a real threat on clay.
Tsitsipas is vastly more experienced playing such important matches at this stage of a Grand Slam and has also made the final of the 2021 French Open. This experience may prove to be the deciding factor in what is sure to be a close and intense battle but the result is hard to predict with how the dark horse, Arnaldi, is currently performing.
Match prediction: Stefanos Tsitsipas to win in five sets.
