Reilly Opelka vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina prediction
Reilly Opelka delivered his best performance for some time in the first round, dispatching of Nicolai Budkov Kjaer in straight sets and serving 23 aces along the way.
The American won a massive 94% of points behind his first serve, and that will surely fill him with confidence as he looks to make the third round of the Australian Open for only the second time in his career.
14th seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina also looked assured in his straight-sets victory over Filip Misolic, although it wasn't a surprising result given that the Spaniard reached the semi-finals of the recent Adelaide International.
Davidovich Fokina is favoured by the bookies here, but if Opelka can serve as well as he did in his opener, he will give himself every chance. Expect this one to go over 3.5 sets.
Reilly Opelka vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina tip: Over 3.5 sets
