Arnaboldi got the win at the Como Men Singles, but the set itself went to Bondioli 4-2. Bondioli broke in game 2 to lead 2-0, and that remained the only break of the set.
Arnaboldi saved six of the seven break points he faced and held the rest of his service games, yet he could not convert his only break point. Bondioli won all three service games he played, which meant the early break was enough to settle the set.
Bondioli's first serve was the standout number: 68% in, with 69% of points won behind it. Arnaboldi hit two aces but landed just half of his first serves, and that gap proved decisive.
