On August 12, 2024, Matteo Arnaldi rose to the top 30 in the singles ranking
After chasing down an apparently lost ball and winning an unlikely point, 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic cupped his ear to seek more cheers from the audience but in his opening encounter at the Madrid Open on Saturday, Djokovic lost to Matteo Arnaldi in straight sets, which proved to be his final straw rather than the catalyst for a return.
The 37-year-old Djokovic is struggling at the beginning of the clay-court season ahead of the French Open next month. He has lost three straight games, including the Miami final and his opening encounter against Alejandro Tabilo at the Monte Carlo Masters two weeks ago.
