THE PREDICTION

World number 18 Reilly Opelka beat Dutch qualifier Gijs Brouwer in straight sets on Friday for an altogether more assured performance than his opening wobble against Mitchell Kruger. The 24-year-old recently won the Dallas Open to take his career ATP titles up to three and he finished runner-up to Cam Norrie a week later in February. World number 94 Nick Kyrgios received a walkover to the semi-finals in Houston after Michael Mmoh pulled out of their quarter-final and that will suit the Aussie just fine after two tough matches this week. Kyrgios’ victory over in-form Tommy Paul on Wednesday suggests he is the slightest of favourites here but Opelka was the winner of their only previous meeting in three sets at last season’s Canadian Open. Take this match between two of the hardest servers on tour to see at least a tiebreak, as their previous match did, and leave the result totally up to chance.
