Fran Cerúndolo stages stunning comeback to reach US Open second round | OneFootball

At Court 7 of the US Open 2025, Francisco Cerúndolo staged a comeback that will be etched in memory. He overcame Italian Matteo Arnaldi after losing the first two sets, with a final score of 3-6, 2-6, 7-5, 6-4, and 6-3.

The start clearly favored Arnaldi, who displayed aggression and precision to gain an advantage. Cerúndolo, visibly uncomfortable, couldn't find his rhythm and conceded the first sets without much resistance.

However, something changed in the third set. Cerúndolo found depth on the right and improved his service. It was a contested partial: he won it 7-5, at a key moment that restored his hope.

The fourth chapter maintained the tone of resurgence: Cerúndolo raised his mental and technical level, broke the opponent's service, and closed 6-4. In the decisive set, the Argentine unfolded his arsenal with deep returns and solid composure. And a lot of confidence for his first comeback from a 0-2.

Cerúndolo, seed No. 19, reaffirmed his status against the 64th in the world. Moreover, in the context of this season, the comeback not only propels him in the tournament but also reinforces his profile as a player prepared for big challenges after his first Grand Slam victory since Australia.
