What Racquet Does Reilly Opelka Use?
Reilly Opelka is one of the most promising next-generation players, with one of the best serves on the tour, he is a threat to any opponent on the ATP Tour. The only player in the world that can compete with Opelka’s serve, is John Isner.
Opelka has only won 1 title in his career, which was in the 250 Series. So, he hasn’t had his real breakthrough yet at the biggest tournaments. However, he is still very young and with his potential, I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up as a grand slam champion in the future.
