\u201cObviously it was a question mark today,\u201d he said, explaining that he took Tuesday as a rest day to conserve what energy he has left. \u201cI just came here, did some physio and some stuff in the gym. Today I was actually feeling pretty good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even if the fatigue is setting in, the adrenaline of making a career-changing run is keeping Arnaldi\u2019s spirits high.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can’t complain,\u201d he said. \u201cI have been playing a lot but at the same time, I’m happy to be on court and to spend time on court, because I missed playing. I for sure have some energy left for the next matches.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked to describe his emotions after moving through to the semifinal, he said, \u201cI still can\u2019t believe it. If I think about where I was a month ago, I was almost No. 150 in the world. Then I played the Challenger in Cagliari and from there I started to feel better and train again like I wanted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNow I\u2019m here. It\u2019s crazy to think, but I always liked this tournament and I always play well here. Two years ago I made the fourth round, so I love to play in front of this crowd.\u201d<\/p>\n
