Daniil Medvedev vs Reilly Opelka prediction
Daniil Medvedev returns to Washington for the first time since reaching the final back in 2019.
The Russian is looking to bounce back from his humbling first round exit at Wimbledon and faces a tricky test right off the bat.
Reilly Opelka sneaked past qualifier Murphy Cassone 7-6 6-7 6-3 in a tight all-American battle and will relish the chance to face the former world number one for the seventh time.
Medvedev leads the head-to-head 4-2 but did lose their most recent clash 7-6 7-6 in s’Hertogenbosch in June.
Their very first encounter was at this tournament back in 2017 where Medvedev triumphed 6-7 6-3 7-6 and it does very much feel like there’s a tie-break or two in this one.
The eighth seed will be eager to avenge that loss on grass last month, but the market may serve you best if you explore the tie-break odds.
Daniil Medvedev vs Reilly Opelka tip: Set 1 tie-break
