Reilly Opelka vs Christopher Eubanks prediction
Opelka has had a decent start to the new season. The former World No. 17 seems to have regained his form after a disappointing run in 2024. He has been clinical in pressure points, winning eight of his 11 tie-breaks this year.
Eubanks has registered just one win so far on the tour. His win percentage on second serves has been concerning, as he averaged just 46.3% across the three matches. However, the American has recorded more aces against all his opponents so far.
While Eubanks could pose problems to some extent with his deadly serve, it will not be enough to overcome Opelka who has been in scintillating form lately. Hence, the latter is expected to come out on top in this fixture.
Pick: Opelka to win in straight sets.
