Italian Matteo Arnaldi is one win from the main draw of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters after rallying from a set down to defeat Czech Vit Kopriva Saturday in the opening round of qualifying.<\/p>\n

Playing just his fifth tournament of the year due to an ankle injury, the former Top 30 star broke serve five times in a 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 win to set a meeting with Frenchman Alexandre Muller, who beat Briton Jan Choinski 7-6(1), 6-3.<\/p>\n

Arnaldi earned 20 match wins last year – and a quarter-final berth in Madrid – but is still searching for his first at tour-level this season.<\/p>\n

Last year’s Next Gen ATP Finals runner-up Alexander Blockx won 79 per cent of first serves in his 7-6(3), 6-2 win over Italian Francesco Maestrelli. For a place in the main draw the Belgian now needs to beat World No. 74 Damir Dzumhur, who enjoyed a 7-6(4), 7-5 win over Norway’s Nicolai Budkov Kjaer, who competed alongside Blockx in Jeddah last December.<\/p>\n

Qualifying top seed Ethan Quinn rallied to beat Finland’s Otto Virtanen 3-6, 6-2, 6-3. With six main-draw wins already this year, the World No. 56 next meets Argentine Francisco Comesana.<\/p>\n

Belgian David Goffin, who is attempting to join fellow veterans Stan Wawrinka and Gael Monfils in the main draw in their farewell appearances in Monte-Carlo, will play American Emilio Nava Sunday after defeating Peru’s Ignacio Buse 2-6, 6-3, 6-3.<\/p>\n

Monaco duo Hugo Nys and Romain Arneodo both fell in their singles qualifying bids, but both will be in the doubles main draw.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
