Arnaldi's Dominant Display

Arnaldi displayed remarkable composure and skill throughout the match. He broke Rublev's serve twice in the opening set and held his own serve comfortably. In the second set, Arnaldi continued to put pressure on Rublev, breaking his serve early and eventually closing out the set with a forehand winner.

The third set was a complete demolition by Arnaldi. He broke Rublev's serve three times and never faced a break point. Rublev, who has been struggling with form this season, was unable to respond to Arnaldi's aggression and precision.

This victory is a major breakthrough for Arnaldi, who is ranked 117th in the world. It is his first win over a top-10 player and a significant step towards establishing himself on the ATP Tour.
