Andrea Vavassori vs. Matteo Arnaldi Best Bet: Monday, September 12th

With the U.S. Open done and the Davis Cup not beginning for another few days, we’re off to the lower-level Challenger circuit for Monday’s selection from the men’s game.

We’ll head to Poland for a match between Andrea Vavassori and Matteo Arnaldi.

Andrea Vavassori vs Matteo Arnaldi Preview

September 12, 14:30 UK Time

After nearly qualifying for the U.S. Open on a surface that is far from his best, Arnaldi returns to the European clay courts looking to continue his ascent up the rankings. After retiring in his semifinal match in Como just over a week ago, he’s back in action at a high-level Challenger taking on his compatriot Vavassori.

With an ultra-consistent game from the baseline, and improved aggression that allows him to end points of his own accord, Arnaldi now has the well-rounded game that has vaulted him into the world’s top-200 players.

On the other side of the net, Vavassori is one of the more mercurial players you’ll find on the Challenger Tour. When his game is clicking, the talent is evident. His ability to play confounding tennis and lose for extended periods, however, has kept him from really having any sort of major breakthrough.

With the ability to find cheap points behind his serve, play aesthetically pleasing tennis from the baseline and come into net when the situation calls for it, Vavassori is certainly a player worth backing when you can find him priced up as a big underdog.

Against a young, talented player that is far more consistent and as a favourite, though? Not so much.


Andrea Vavassori vs Matteo Arnaldi Best Bet

As alluded to above, I’m just not convinced that Vavassori – even at his best – is that much better than the young Italian that seems to be improving week-by-week. In terms of consistent results? His younger counterpart already has him there, posting some incredible results in 2022.

While there are potential injury concerns in this one, I think the market has overreacted in a big way and I’ll look to take advantage by backing Arnaldi.

  • Selection: Arnaldi to win
  • Best Odds: 2.13 (Pinnacle)
  • Stakes: 3/10

Odds as at 10:15 pm on September 11th, 2022. Odds may now differ.
