🔍 Match Breakdown

Arnaldi has the ATP-level consistency and knows how to handle Marozsan’s baseline power. In their two previous meetings on clay, he controlled tempo, used width, and forced errors effectively. Marozsan will likely try to muscle through long exchanges, but he has historically struggled when forced to improvise or when he loses rhythm. Both players tend to start strong—Arnaldi wins 67% of clay matches when taking the first set, while Marozsan wins 77% of first sets in his victories—so the opener will be key.

🔮 Prediction

While Marozsan is trending upward, Arnaldi’s tactical variation and head-to-head dominance give him the edge. This matchup historically suits the Italian, and his form suggests he can go one step further in Geneva. 🧩 Prediction: Arnaldi in 3 sets – Expect physical baseline rallies, but Arnaldi’s court craft and confidence in this matchup should prove decisive.
