Matteo Arnaldi has a tough match coming up in the Madrid Masters when he takes on Borna Coric in the second round. In their first meeting, the winner will be up against fourth seed Novak Djokovic. Read on for our prediction.

Arnaldi has endured tough times in his recent matches, and this one will no doubt need him at his best. He lost his opening two clay court matches, the most recent in three sets against Sebastian Korda.

This stretched his losing run to three matches. On a positive note, though, Arnaldi managed to win at least a set in each of the last four games.

Borna Coric started his clay campaign for the year much earlier, and he will carry a better run into this encounter. He has sailed through the qualification process with relative ease, dropping just one set in the two matches.

In the most recent, he beat Canadian Gabriel Diallo 2-0 to book his main draw ticket. That was his seventh win in the last 10 outings, and he failed to win a set in just one of the 10.

This year he has already bagged three Challenger titles and will wish to upgrade, though the likelihood of an ATP 1000 title is close to nil for the player ranked outside the top top-100.
