Nicolai Budkov Kjaer vs Reilly Opelka prediction
Reilly Opelka will feature in just his second match of the season on clay in Madrid.
The towering American is statistically weaker on the dirt but the conditions here should help his hefty serve find its mark.
The world number 70 will face Nicolai Budkov Kjaer, who came through qualifying but has yet to bag a win in a main draw this year.
The 19-year-old Norwegian has little form on clay so far, but may expose Opelka’s movement if he can get the serve into play. However, that is easier said than done.
