Carlos Alcaraz vs Matteo Arnaldi: US Open 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Carlos Alcaraz faced his first set loss of the campaign against Dan Evans but recovered for a 6-2, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 victory, plagued by a recurring breakpoint conversion issue. Alcaraz hasn’t hit his peak since the clay season, with challenges at Wimbledon and a morale-damaging loss to Novak Djokovic in US Open warm-up events. He faces stiff competition ahead, including potential matchups against Alexander Zverev, Jannik Sinner, or Daniil Medvedev. Despite this, the reigning Wimbledon champion has excelled in the United States since 2022, reaching at least the quarterfinals in all seven tournaments, with standout titles at Miami Masters 2022, Indian Wells 2023, and the US Open 2022, where he remains undefeated.

Matteo Arnaldi, despite recent fatigue from a heavy match schedule, has impressively performed in his debut US Open appearance. He showed resilience by defeating Arthur Fils in a grueling five-set match during the second round and then dominated Cameron Norrie in straight sets, reaching the Grand Slam’s second week for the first time in his career. Arnaldi becomes the third unseeded Italian this year to reach the second week of a Grand Slam, following Lorenzo Sonego’s run at the French Open and Matteo Berrettini’s Wimbledon journey against Carlos Alcaraz. Starting the 2022 season ranked around #400, Arnaldi’s rapid adaptation and consistent performances across all levels have ensured a debut in the top 50 when the rankings update next week. In his three previous encounters with top-10 players, he notably defeated last year’s US Open runner-up, Casper Ruud, at the Madrid Masters in April.
