Denis Shapovalov v Reilly Opelka Head to Head

Shapovalov owns a 2-0 head-to-head record against Reilly Opelka, beating the American in their most recent clash in the third round of the Australian Open.

Shapovalov Survives Davidovich Fokina To Advance

Denis Shapovalov clocked seven aces and 30 winners in his three-set win over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. The Canadian lefty was slow off the blocks, dropping the first set 6-4 against an opponent who has already acclimatized to the court conditions.

But only spurred Shapovalov to find his rhythm. The Canadain responded, with the major turning point coming in that lengthy seventh game of the second set. Shapovalov had wasted four break points before he took his fifth. From that moment on, the World No. 13 was in ascendancy.

In the decider, Davidovich Fokina’s turn to produce one error-strewn game after another proved costly. The Spaniard held serve once in the third set, before Shapovalov sealed the win in two hours and 35 minutes.

With the win, Shapovalov improves to 12-5 for the season and will be looking to keep his unbeaten streak over Reilly Opelka intact when the pair square off in the third round.

Opelka Equals Best Appearance At Indian Wells

For the second straight year, Reilly Opelka made it through into the third round of the Indian Wells Masters courtesy of a 6-1 6-4 win over the inconsistent Lorenzo Musetti.

Opelka, who is seeded at No. 17, hammered nine aces and won 81% first-serve points to defeat the Italian in just over an hour. It was the shortest match of the American’s season, and that says a lot about Musetti’s current form.

The towering Michigan native needed less than half an hour to wrap up the opening set 6-1, breaking Musetti twice. And in the second set, the Italian improved marginally but failed to threaten the Opelka serve which did not at any point come under the microscope.

Opelka will now be looking to avenge his Australian Open loss to Shapovalov and reach the fourth round of the event for the first time.

Shapovalov v Opelka Prediction and Tip

57 unforced errors and nine double faults in the books – a ridiculous return by Denis Shapovalov in that second-round win. I’d give him the benefit of the doubt since this was his first match back in over two weeks. But we are backing this match to go the distance, given how strong both players are on serve.

Tip: Three sets in the match: 6/4 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
