Reilly Opelka v Cedrik-Marcel Stebe Head to Head
The pair have met once before, in the first round of Wimbledon in 2019, Opelka winning in straight sets.

Opelka Back on Home Soil
Opelka, who was given a first round bye in Dallas courtesy of his seeding, will be playing in his first match of the year back on home soil, after beginning the season in Australia.
And, although his year did not start well, suffering a first round defeat in the Melbourne Summer Set event, he can draw some encouragement with his performances after that.
The following week in Sydney, he reached the quarter-finals, and led Andy Murray by a set before losing eventually.
And then he reached the third round of the Australian Open for the first time, before his run was ended by Denis Shapovalov.

Stebe Punching Above His Weight
For Stebe, this is his first time in the main draw of a senior ATP event since losing in the first round in Newport Beach last July.
Still, he has earned his place with a series of gritty three set victories in Dallas, beginning with qualifying, where he beat first Bjorn Fratangelo of the USA and then Yosuke Watanuki, coming from behind in each match having dropped the first set.
That earned him a first round tie with the American, Denis Kudla, the world number 105.
Kudla gained the early advantage with the first break of the match, but serving for the first set, he was broken in turn, and the German, having saved two set points in the course of it, won the resultant tie-break.
The American though fought back, forced the only break of the second set, and then saved two break points before serving out.
Stebe had to save two break points in the opening game of the third set and took full advantage of the reprieve to break the Kudla serve in the next game.
Another break put the German in control and, although Kudla recovered one of them, saving the match proved beyond him.
Opelka v Stebe Prediction and Tip
Opelka, playing a man ranked more than 200 places below him in the world, would appear to hold all the advantages going into this match. Anything but an American victory would be a major turn-up for the form book.
Tip: Opelka to win: 6/19 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
