The Italian was serving for the 2nd set but that’s the moment when Stefanos broke him to tie 5-5 and the set was decided after a tiebreak. Arnaldi lost his serve 4 times in the tiebreak and the Greek won it 7-4 points to even the sets.
That was the crucial moment that broke Matteo as after that Stefanos won comfortably the next 2 sets as Arnaldi didn’t broke the Greek’s serve not even once in the 3rd and the 4th set.
