Why Did Andrey Rublev Lose to Matteo Arnaldi at Roland Garros 2024?

In a surprising turn of events at Roland Garros 2024, Andrey Rublev, the sixth seed, was defeated by Matteo Arnaldi in the second round. Let's dive into the key factors and statistics that led to Rublev's unexpected loss.

1. Arnaldi's Exceptional Performance

Matteo Arnaldi played an outstanding match, displaying strong mental and physical resilience. His aggressive baseline play and consistent service games were crucial in putting pressure on Rublev. Arnaldi's ability to convert break points and maintain a high first-serve percentage was instrumental in his victory.

Break Points Converted: Arnaldi converted 5 out of 9 break points, a conversion rate of 55.5%.

First-Serve Percentage: Arnaldi won 69% of his first-serve points, keeping Rublev on the defensive.

2. Rublev's Inconsistency

Rublev struggled with consistency throughout the match, which was evident in his higher number of unforced errors and his inability to maintain his usual high level of play under pressure.

Unforced Errors: Rublev committed 47 unforced errors compared to Arnaldi's 28.

Double Faults: Rublev had 6 double faults, which often came at crucial moments, further hampering his performance.

3. Physical and Mental Fatigue

Rublev has had a demanding clay season, including a title win at the Madrid Masters. The accumulation of matches seemed to contribute to both physical and mental fatigue, affecting his performance against a well-prepared Arnaldi.

Total Points Won: Rublev won 104 points to Arnaldi's 125, indicating that Rublev was unable to sustain his performance across the match.

4. Lack of Plan B

One of Rublev's known weaknesses is his inability to adapt his game plan when his primary aggressive strategy isn’t effective. This match highlighted this issue as Rublev struggled to find alternative tactics to counter Arnaldi's play.

Second Serve Points Won: Rublev won only 43% of his second-serve points, compared to Arnaldi's 56%.

Conclusion

Andrey Rublev's loss to Matteo Arnaldi was a combination of Arnaldi's excellent performance and Rublev's inconsistencies and fatigue. The match statistics highlight Rublev's struggle with unforced errors, double faults, and a lack of adaptability, while Arnaldi capitalized on his opportunities and maintained a solid baseline game.
