Opelka — Shevchenko. Forecast for the ATP Dallas match
Opelka and Shevchenko will meet in the first round of the tournament in Dallas on February 6. Opelka won the title in Dallas in 2022. It will be extremely difficult to repeat that success this season, but Reilly should be able to show good tennis on home courts. What will be the American's start in Dallas? - the bets for this match are in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Reilly Opelka
USACurrent form
Opelka managed to register five wins in seven games in the new season. This year, Reilly played in the finals of the competition in Brisbane. At the Australian Open, everything ended for him following the results of the second round, where he lost in five games to Tomas Makhach.
Professional qualities
Opelka is one of the best pitchers on the tour. Before the injury, he performed the most aces and played effectively on the second serve. After returning, Reilly retained his main strength, his serve. However, its weak point will remain unchanged – movement. It is difficult for the American in protracted draws, especially against attacking players who do not allow him to dominate from the serve.
Current indicators in the tour
Opelka is currently ranked 145th in the world ranking. The American was once the 17th racket of the world. During his career, Reilly won eight trophies, four of which were in the ATP category. He won his last title on the clay courts of his home tournament in Houston.
Interesting facts for betting
Opelka has won 9 of his last 14 matches against tennis players outside the top 50 in the world rankings.
Alexander Shevchenko
KazakhstanCurrent form
Shevchenko took part in the Davis Cup last week, in which he defeated Muzammil Murtaza. Alexander has three wins in six matches this season.
Professional qualities
Shevchenko suffers from instability in almost all aspects of the game. One day his punches can be precise and sharp, and the other day they can fly into the out or net. The pitch is usually average, but there are a series of double faults. He moves well, but often lacks the stamina to withstand even one long match.
Current indicators in the tour
Shevchenko is ranked 75th in the world ranking. In total, Alexander has won seven trophies in his career. He won the last of them in 2023, winning the outdoor hard court in Tenerife and winning the clay competitions in Madrid.
Interesting facts for betting
9 of Shevchenko's last 10 matches were played through the "bottom".

2.32Tip and bets
Shevchenko is simply not ready to compete with Opelka on the fast indore right now. In protracted draws, Alexander can still impose a fight on the American, but the representative of Kazakhstan is unlikely to cope with his submission. We prefer the Sawdust in this pair.
Our forecast is that Opelka will win with a (-2) game handicap by a factor of 1.73

In three of Shevchenko's last five matches, less than 9.5 games were played in the first set. Most likely, the upcoming match against Opelka will also start with the "grassroots" first game.
The forecast is a total of less than 9.5 games in the first set for a coefficient of 2.58
