World number 63 Cameron Norrie and wildcard Reilly Opelka will meet in the second round in Dallas. This is their fourth career meeting and the winner will battle Tommy Paul or Ethan Quinn in the quarter-finals. Below is our prediction for this match.

Reilly Opelka won it all when he competed in Dallas. The American won the inaugural tournament in 2022 on his debut, and on his return, he will hope to maintain this 100% record.

Opelka defeated the unseeded Alexander Shevchenko in the opening round by straight sets. He has now won six of eight fixtures to start the season.

Now up to 136th in the live ranking, the 27-year-old has a run to the final in Brisbane as the highlight of his campaign.

Norrie hasn’t had a strong start to the season as Opelka. He has lost three times in six fixtures. However, having the head-to-head advantage in this fixture, he will be confident of prolonging his stay in Dallas.

Norrie has won three of his previous four battles with Opelka. He defeated him to lift the Delray Beach title three years ago, the last time they squared off.

Norrie, who has never progressed past the second round in Dallas, defeated seventh-seed Alex Michelsen 2-1 in the first round. That win has nudged him up three places to 60th in the live ranking.
