Opelka - Makhach. Betting Tip for the Australian Open match
Opelka and Makhac will meet in the second round of the Australian Open on January 15. Opelka physical condition raises serious questions. After a triumphant victory over Djokovic, the American tennis player suffered a back injury. Despite winning the first round of the Australian Open, his game was far from ideal. Will Reilly be able to continue the fight in the tournament? - bets on this match are in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Reilly Opelka
USACurrent form
Opelka started the Australian Open with a win over Gauthier Onklin (3-6, 7-6, 6-3, 6-2). In the match against the Belgian, Reilly served 38 aces, converted four break points and lost three games on his serve. This season, the American has five wins and one loss on open hard courts.
Professional qualities
Opelka is a recognized master of serving, who stands out for his enormous height and physical strength. His serve is a real salvo, with maximum power and accuracy. The peculiarity of the second serve is that it is not only powerful, but also very sharp. However, in the rest of the game, Reilly is noticeably weaker. If the opponent manages to withstand his serve and drag out the rally, it will be difficult for the American to impose his game, and the probability of losing the point increases significantly.
Current indicators in the tour
Opelka is the 170th racket in the world, although the American was once in the top 20 of the world rankings. This season, Reilly played the final at the tournament in Brisbane, and in total, he has won eight trophies in his career, including four ATP categories.
Interesting facts for betting
Of 14 matches against top-50 players, Opelka won only four.
Tomas Machac
Czech RepublicCurrent form
In the first round of the Australian Open, Makhac beat Sumit Nagal in three sets (6-3, 6-1, 7-5). Tomas served seven aces, converted seven break points and lost two games on his serve. On open hard courts this season, the Czech has three wins and two losses.
Professional qualities
Makhac is an attacking tennis player who is not known for his outstanding defense, but compensates for this with an aggressive and powerful attack. His forehand stands out in particular, being his main weapon, capable of creating problems even for top tennis players. Recently, Tomas has also significantly improved his game with the backhand, which used to often lead to mistakes, and now this stroke has become more stable. The Czech continues to develop and, thanks to his attacking game, is capable of being dangerous for any opponent.
Current indicators in the tour
Makhac is the world 25th-ranked player. This is his highest career world ranking. The Czech has won ten trophies in total. He won his last one indoors in Mouilleron-le-Captif, where he beat Arthur Fary in the final.
Interesting facts for betting
Makhach has won 8 of his last 10 matches against American tennis players.
