Matteo Arnaldi looks to win his first ATP Tour main draw match of the year. He faces fellow unseeded player Alexander Shevchenko in round one of the outdoor hard court Miami Open. Read our match prediction below.

It's not been a great year for Arnaldi who is currently 102nd in the live rankings. His first tournament of 2026 was in Brisbane where he won his first qualifying round match against Hugo Gaston.

He then had to withdraw from his second round match due to an ankle injury. After a first round loss in the Australian Open, Arnaldi didn't play again until Indian Wells. He lost to Mackenzie McDonald in the first round, winning just one game.

He leads Shevchenko 2-0 in previous meetings. Both were played on the Challenger Tour on this surface.

Alexander Shevchenko is 77th in the live rankings and is 7-7 on outdoor hard courts this year. His best run came in Adelaide where he reached the quarter-finals. He also made it to that stage in the Pau Challenger Tour event.

At Indian Wells, he was beaten by Casper Ruud in round two. Eight of his last nine matches have included at least one tie-break so a side bet on that could well win. Overall, we tip him to beat Arnaldi.
