Reilly Opelka vs Mitchell Krueger: Preview

Reilly Opelka, the third seed, is in good form, but World No. 18 has yet to win a main draw match in three attempts at the tournament. Opelka has had his best results on hard courts, but a run to the semifinals on clay in Rome last year would have given him a lot of confidence, and he will be eager for more success on the surface this year. With a 13-6 record this season, including a championship and a runner-up finish, Opelka will believe he has an excellent chance to go far in Houston.

After Peru’s Juan Pablo Varillas retired in the first round while behind 1-5 in the first set, qualifier Mitchell Krueger resumed his march through the tournament. Krueger advanced to the main draw of a tour-level clay-court event for the first time in his career after defeating Australia’s Matthew Ebden 7-5, 6-1 in the first qualifying round and compatriot Michael Mmoh 6-3, 6-3 in the second qualifying round. He is now 2-3 in the main draws this season, with his most recent victory coming against Jordan Thompson in Delray Beach.

Reilly Opelka vs Mitchell Krueger: Head-To-Head

The two players have played against each other in the past, and this will be their fourth meeting. The previous encounters have Opelka leading 2-1. Guess we will have to wait and see if Mitchell Krueger will have his revenge or if Opelka will continue his winning streak.

Reilly Opelka vs Mitchell Krueger: Prediction

With a win in Dallas, Reilly Opelka won his third career title, and he finished second in Delray Beach this year. In addition, he reached the semifinals in Sydney and the Round of 16 in Indian Wells. He was unable to complete his first match in Miami, quitting in the second set against Francisco Cerundolo. However, his win-loss ratio is excellent and has won a championship, he is in excellent form.

Mitchell Krueger, who is ranked 161 in the world, has a 22-34 record at the Challenger level on the surface and two ITF titles on clay. If he does manage to beat Opelka it will showcase his budding talent.

Prediction: Opelka to win in straight sets
