Italy’s Matteo Arnaldi is having a run of his lifetime at the Miami Open. He is now through to the round of 16 of the tournament after beating Canada’s Denis Shapovalov. Despite being ranked 38 in the world, the Italian’s performance at the Miami Open has created quite a buzz. But that’s not the only reason he has become the topic of fan buzz.
Arnaldi, who’s been dating Mia Savio, proved to be the best boyfriend as he clocks in multiple shifts to fulfill her demand to attend five-time Grammy winner Drake’s concert.

Setting a tough benchmark to match for all the boyfriends, the 22-year-old Italian Arnaldi rushed to take Savio to attend a Drake concert just after his win over Shapovalov in the 3rd round of the Miami Open. Savio took to Instagram to flex her boyfriend’s dedication towards her. Posting an Instagram carousel that included a picture of her and Arnaldi and multiple pictures and videos of Drake performing at the concert with the caption, “Get yourself a boyfriend who wins his match at 6 and takes you to Drake at 8 💖💖,” she gave all the boyfriends a run for their money.

Currently on his ‘It’s All a Blur – Big As the What?’ tour, Drake was performing at the Amerant Bank Arena, Sunrise, Florida which is approximately a 35-minute drive away from Miami Gardens where the Miami Open is being held. This gesture by Arnaldi left the fans swooning over the couple. However, this is not the first time Arnaldi and Savio have indulged in public displays of affection.

A visibly emotional Arnaldi celebrated with his teammates before running over to Savio in the stands to hug her and fell crying into her arms. In his on-court interview, the Italian revealed the reason behind his passionate outburst. “It’s very emotional. More because a very important person passed away a month ago for me and my girlfriend, so this is for him. She doesn’t know what it means for me. And also, for the country, but it was very emotional to play this event for me,” He said.
