Backing Arnaldi +1.5 Sets. De Minaur's clay record isn't dominant, evident in his recent 0-2 loss to Nadal and 1-2 vs Fils. While a top-15 talent, his baseline game isn't impenetrable on dirt. Arnaldi, playing on home soil, demonstrated tenacity with a 2-1 win in the previous round. The market underprices the Italian's ability to capitalize on De Minaur's clay court vulnerabilities for at least one set, driven by crowd energy. Expect a tight encounter, not a sweep. 85% YES — invalid if Arnaldi's first serve percentage drops below 55% for the match.
