The British wildcard will face ninth seed Flavio Cobolli on Wednesday (08.07.26), having already beating him once this year at the Australian Open, and he's got faith he can overcome his opponent once again.

He said: “I’m just going to stick to what I’ve been doing, just keep believing in myself, not letting go of matches, and we’ll see where that takes me.

“I’m not going to change anything now. It’s working, I feel good.”

Asked if his previous victory over Cobolli has given him confidence, he said: “Definitely. It’s going to be a good match regardless. I’m expecting it to be very, very difficult and different to Australia. Completely different conditions.

"I’m sure he’s going to be at 100% of his capacities here, which maybe he wasn’t quite 100% in Australia. I played really well in Australia. Felt like I dominated the match. So we’ll use that experience for Wednesday.”

Arthur's career has been blighted by a bone bruise injury to his arm, and he didn't play for almost two months earlier this year, but his coach, Jeroen Bernard, is confident in his abilities.

Jeroen said: “It’s only been a year together, but it has been a long journey, regarding the injuries. The injury was not just then, it was an injury that reoccurred on a monthly basis. Every time we started, he got hurt. We tried everything to get him healthy.

"[I believed] in potential, definitely. Yes. I have told my parents this, what was it, five days ago? I said I knew that the potential was there. That it comes out, that quick – that’s tough to answer. For me as well.

"You hope, always – you don’t expect – but you see that there are definitely a lot of skills and tools that this could happen. That it happens here is great.”
