Sebastian Ofner vs Reilly Opelka prediction

Sebastian Ofner has not kicked on since his encouraging performance at Wimbledon, which saw him defeat Tommy Paul and reach the third-round for the first time since 2017. He lost in the first-round in Bastad and then followed that up with another straight sets defeat in round one in Kitzbuhel. Both tournaments were on clay, so Ofner will hope for an improvement in his fortunes during this hard court swing.

He will go up against Reilly Opelka. There were some encouraging signs for the big serving American in Washington as he won his first-round match and took the first set against former world number one Daniil Medvedev in round two. Opelka had beaten the Russian last month at the Libema Open, but a rain delay thwarted his momentum, and he went down in three sets.

Opelka has enjoyed these conditions in the past, having reached the final four years ago, and is likely to win more free points with his huge serve of his. We think this could be a close one, but we give the American the edge.
