Tennis Predictions
Solid in the first rounds, Serbian Novak Djokovic will face American Reilly Opelka on Friday for a place in the semi-finals of the Brisbane tournament.
Determined to show everyone that at 37 the retirement age has not yet come, Novak Djokovic has had a very good start to the tournament in Brisbane. As at home in Australia, the Serbian is already in good shape and his physique seems to be doing well. His first two performances were of quality with a level to which his opponents were unable to respond. The Australian Rinky Hijikata then the Frenchman Gael Monfils tried hard but were unable to find the fault in the game of the former world number 1 who did not need to exert his talent. Will the quarter-final on Friday morning be of the same ilk?
-For a place in the semi-final, it is Reilly Opelka who puts himself on the path of the Serb for a first confrontation between the two men. The American has had a complicated few months with an injury that sidelined him for more than a year. But back during the summer of 2024, the now 293rd player in the world is rebuilding himself little by little. And since the start of the week, Reilly Opelka has been able to convince with two great victories over the Argentinian Federico Agustin Gomez then over the Italian Matteo Arnaldi. With confidence, the American now wants to measure himself against Novak Djokovic in his reconstruction and hopes to be able to hold his own against the tournament favorite.
