THE PREDICTION

World number 36 Reilly Opelka won the Atlanta Open Men’s Doubles title last week with Jannik Sinner as the young pair aimed for more match practice on hard courts. The 23-year-old was challenged throughout by Daniel Elahi Galan here on Wednesday and now faces a much tougher prospect in Australia’s John Millman. The 32-year-old beat Opelka only recently over three sets at Queen’s Club to extend his lead in their head-to-head record to 2-0 and this should be another close, robust and powerful meeting between two baseliners. Big-serving Opelka often finds himself in a tiebreak and with three already seen between these two over their last matches take this to see at least one too.
