Arthur Rinderknech didn’t make an ideal start to 2022. He began the year with the Australian Open and made a great start with a thrilling five-set win over Alexei Popyrin. However, in the very next round, he gave a walkover to his opponent, Dan Evans due to an injury.
In the Qatar Open, Rinderknech played some World-class tennis and grabbed the eyeballs of the tennis community. After defeating Jiri Vesely in the first round, Rinderknech pulled off a surprise victory against the 7th seed Alexander Bublik. Rinderknech followed it up with an incredible victory against the top seed, Denis Shapovalov before falling just short against Nikoloz Basilashvili in the semi-final.
Rinderknech had a dip in form following this tournament and didn’t quite perform to his potential in the next three events – the Dubai Tennis Championships, Indian Wells Masters and the Miami Open.
As Rinderknech prepares to take on Fognini in a while from now, he would look to stay on top of his game and get some momentum at the very beginning of the clay-court season. Rinderknech and Fognini have never faced each other before on the ATP tour. On paper, Fognini is the favourite going into the match, as the higher-ranked player.
