REILLY OPELKA VS ALEX MICHELSEN PREDICTION

Reilly Opelka will be aiming for a place in the final at the Hall of Fame Open given his form this week. The big-serving American has fired down 62 aces in his three matches so far, including 27 in the victory over Makenzie McDonald in the quarters, and he will be banking on his serve once again here versus Alex Michelsen.

19-year-old Michelsen overcame Aleksandar Kovacevic in the quarters and managed to nullify his serve on the whole despite the 12 aces. His return game was good enough to create six break points and the two he took was enough for a 6-4 6-4 win.

Opelka will be keen to put a marker down against his younger compatriot and given his form and the quality of opposition he has beaten this week, it is Opelka who is expected to progress to the final.
