Tuesday promises to be a day of great tennis in Florida, with Arnaldi opening the dances at 4 p.m. against Czech Tomas Machac, No. 60 in the world rankings, on the Grandstand. The Ligurian tennis player, who has yet to lose a set in the tournament and has already overcome tough opponents, could move closer to the top 30 with a win. The'only previous between the two è in favor of the Czech.

Sinner will play  later (third match on the Grandstand, ed.) and, if he wins, could face Arnaldi in the quarterfinals. He will challenge Australian Christopher O’Connell, No. 66 in the ATP rankings, who beat him in his only previous match in Atlanta but from which Jannik has considerably evolved and now the Italian is definitely favored.

Finally, Musetti will challenge first seed Carlos Alcaraz, in a match that promises sparks, scheduled on the Central no earlier than 8:30 pm. The record says 2-1 in favor of the Spaniard, who è won the last two confrontations, although Lorenzo è was able to beat him in the final in Hamburg in 2022.
