The defending US Open champion will hope to cruise into the quarter-finals in 2023 as Carlos Alcaraz takes on promising Italian Matteo Arnaldi in the round of 16 at Flushing Meadows

Carlos Alcaraz vs Matteo Arnaldi Prediction

Whilst 99.9% of people will believe that Carlos Alcaraz will progress here, and, yes, this will be the prediction here too, but one has to recognise that Matteo Arnaldi is a coming force in the game.

The Italian has won 65% of his matches this year, and , actually his recent performance data stands alongside Alcaraz’s quite comfortably. Arnaldi has held serve at a better percentage than Alcaraz in the last month, including in New York, 84.7% to 83.5%. There isn’t much difference in the break percentages either though Alcaraz edges it 23.9% to Arnaldi 20.2%.

The major difference in the pair is that Alcaraz has proven himself to be capable of tennis unmatched by anyone, except potentially Novak Djokovic, when he needs it. Arnaldi has the potential to take a set off the Spanish maestro, but the likelihood is that when it comes to the crunch that Alcaraz will elevate to a level beyond what Arnaldi is capable of.
