Reilly Opelka vs Jesper De Jong prediction
Opelka has not reached any grass-court final so far as all his seven career finals have come on hard or clay courts. However, the American player is a former Wimbledon champion in Juniors, having won the title back in 2015, with a 7-6 (5), 6-4 win over Michael Ymer in the final.
De Jong has not made any finals in his main ATP Tour career thus far. Even on the Challenger and the ITF Tours, the Dutch player has reached 15 finals, but none of them have been on grass.
Opelka is the slight favorite to win the upcoming match as he is the more experienced player and has a powerful serve that will be effective on grass.
Pick- Opelka to win in straight sets
