A Los Cabos Matteo’s journey is immediately interrupted Arnaldi. Engaged in the ATP 250 on Mexican hard courts, the Sanremo player lost in three sets against the Australian Max Purcell, n. 51 in the world and seeded number 7 in the tournament. A match that lasted two and a half hours, ending with a score of 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. After a first set by Purcell thanks to the break (the only one) in the ninth game and the second won by the blue in a partial with five breaks, in the third set Arnaldi paid a high price for the less than optimal performance of the service (in the set 61% of firsts on the court and 57% of points won with the first). After losing serve in the opening, the Ligurian had the opportunity to get back into the match with two break points in the fourth game, saved by Purcell who then also gained a second break lead. For Arnaldi it is the second consecutive knockoutalways in three partials after winning the second and always against an Australian (in Delray Beach it was Hijikata).
