Bernard Tomic – Matteo Arnaldi

Recent form

Shanghai is a men’s Masters 1000 tournament on hard court. Tomic won two qualifying matches on October 5 and 6, 2026, including 7-5, 6-4 against Timofey Skatov; his first match against Térence Atmane ended with his opponent retiring.

Arnaldi defeated Rei Sakamoto in Tokyo on September 30 before losing to Carlos Alcaraz on October 3. The recent level of opposition is therefore mixed: Tomic benefited from an interrupted win followed by a victory in qualifying, while Arnaldi faced a very high-level player in the following round.

The ranking displayed on October 7 probably placed Arnaldi around 38th and Tomic around 185th, an indicator of overall level but not of current form.

Head-to-head

The selected sources do not document a recent meeting between Bernard Tomic and Matteo Arnaldi; the complete head-to-head record is therefore not established. The absence of a direct reference point limits tactical comparisons and does not allow a specific advantage to be inferred from past meetings.

Line-up and availability

Confirmed participants: Bernard Tomic, qualifier, and Matteo Arnaldi in the men’s singles draw. The match is probably scheduled for the first round on 8 October 2026, but the exact time remains to be confirmed: 05:10 UTC is provided, while several pages indicate 05:30 UTC.

Market reading
