Reilly Opelka Form


Reilly Opelka returned to action in July after a long layoff, the big server reaching the semi-finals in Newport.

The 27-year-old ended the season on a poor 1-4 run, his only win coming against Dmitry Popko at the Charlottesville Challenger.

The American has his serve on point in Brisbane where he has been broken once. He beat Federico Agustin Gomez and Matteo Arnaldi in straight sets before hitting 16 aces in taking out top seed Novak Djokovic 7-6 6-3.

Opelka upset the odds once again in the semi-finals, defeating Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 6-3 7-6 in 86 minutes after saving all four break points.

Jiri Lehecka Form


Jiri Lehecka had a strong start last year, winning his first ATP Tour title in Adelaide. He went 7-7 against Top 20 players, six of those seven wins coming on hard courts.

The Czech went all the way in Antwerp in October, beating Stefanos Tsitsipas on his way to the final where he lost to Roberto Bautista Agut.

The 23-year-old defeated 3rd seed Holger Rune in the first round in Brisbane. He took out qualifier Yoshihito Nishioka in 3 sets, then saving all five break points in a 6-4 6-4 victory against Nicolas Jarry.

Lehecka was leading Grigor Dimitrov 6-4 4-4 in the semi-finals when Dimitrov retired.

Verdict

Reilly Opelka has hit 62 aces in Brisbane where he is playing with plenty of confidence. I don’t think Jiri Lehecka deserves favouritism in the final, my money on Opelka’s serve making the difference once again.
