Home favourite Andrea Arnaboldi failed to convert a first-set lead as he was beaten 5-7 6-2 6-1 by world number 20 David Goffin in the first round of the Italian Open this afternoon.

Goffin missed four double-break chances in the seventh game and Arnaboldi made him pay by breaking back in the next game to level the opener at 4-4.

The Italian went a set in front by impressively breaking to love when 6-5 ahead to snatch the set.

Arnaboldi saved six break points on his way to a steely hold at the start of the second set, and he went on to lead 2-1 before losing 11 of the next 12 games to crumble 2-6 1-6 in the second and third sets.

Goffin will be up against either Jo-Wilfried Tsonga or Sam Querrey in the last 32.
