Matteo Arnaldi’s electrifying performance at Roland Garros has earned him entry to the fourth round of the tournament. Especially his latest victory over world No. 4, Andrey Rublev, has sent ripples throughout the tennis world. But beyond his on-court success lies the support of his girlfriend, Mia Savio. Naturally, this has also become a topic of interest among his fans.
The couple, who publicly announced their relationship in January last year, has been enjoying the support of each other in various phases of their lives. While Arnaldi has to travel frequently because of his tight schedules, Savio makes sure to accompany him to various of his tournaments, be it the U.S. Open or the French Open. When Matteo Arnaldi left the ground after defeating the Madrid Open champion in the third round, waiting for him was his girlfriend, Savio. She welcomed him with an open embrace and celebrated his success.
Although Arnaldi believes in keeping his personal life away from the spotlight, his girlfriend from Australia has a different perspective on the matter. A popular face on Instagram, Mia Savio has her roots in Melbourne, while her father is Italian. The couple first met while Arnaldi was attending school in Perugia and have been together for a while now.

Even earlier this year, when the world No. 38 player was busy at the Australian Open, supporting him in the stands was his girlfriend. Later on, Arnaldi revealed how he shares a special connection with Australia. “I really like Australia. My girlfriend is from Australia. I spent the preseason here in Melbourne. And I feel a bit of myself is Australian. So I really feel good to play here.”
He further went on to add, “I feel at home, from one side, because she is from Melbourne, so we have the apartment there, so we can stay home and it is pretty nice. It’s really important for me to start the season here. I would like to do well here, for sure, for all the reasons.”
Sadly, Matteo Arnaldi fell short against Alex de Minaur in the second-round of the Australian Open 2024. But it set the stage for him to accomplish greater heights as the season proceeded. A quarterfinalist in Barcelona and in Turin, he is now all set to face Stefanos Tsitsipas in the fourth round of the French Open.

However, on the other hand, not much is known about his girlfriend’s professional career. But Savio, who is two years younger than the Italian player, shares occasional glimpses of her personal life on her Instagram account. Apart from sharing pictures with Matteo Arnaldi, her love for beaches and vacations is also noticed. But when it comes to supporting his boyfriend’s emotional moments on-court, Savio is always there to shower her love on him.
Delving into Matteo Arnaldi’s girlfriend’s celebratory gestures after his boyfriend’s victories
Matteo Arnaldi’s girlfriend has different ways of celebrating Arnaldi’s victory on-court. A few months ago, when the 23-year-old player won the second round in Miami, Arnaldi took him to a Drake concert. Later, she wrote on Instagram, “Get yourself a boyfriend who wins his match at 6 and takes you to Drake at 8,” and shared pictures of them together there. However, a different scenario was noticed in the Davis Cup final of 2023.

When he earned the trophy by defeating Jannik Sinner, an emotional Arnaldi went up to his girlfriend and cried in joy in her arms. He dedicated his victory to her girlfriend’s late father and said, “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.”
Currently, Matteo Arnaldi’s goal is clear as he moves ahead with the dream of winning his first grand slam in Paris. Whether he thrives in the match or not, he will definitely have the support of Mia Savio, throughout the tournament.
