Reilly Opelka will go into his second clay match of the season, facing Rinky Hijikata at the Madrid Masters. This is a first meeting between these two, and the winner will get to face Karen Khachanov. Read on for our prediction.
Opelka’s clay season had a false start as he lost in straight sets against Stefanos Tsitsipas in Barcelona. That was an expected outcome anyway, and it will be more surprising if he falls to Hijikata.
Opelka has now lost the last two matches but has a positive run at 11-8, which could do with some improvement. Clay is not his best surface, and he has a 0-1 record there for the season.
Hijikata hasn’t had a stable run either. He comes into this match as a lucky loser. He was given a second chance after his loss to Fabio Fognini in the qualification rounds.
The Australian will seek to make it count. Hijikata’s only win in the last four matches came by way of his opponent’s retirement. In his first qualification match, Lloyd Harris pulled out after the opening set.
That makes it four wins in his last 10 matches. It is a different story on clay, though, and that’s where Opelka will have an edge. Hijikata lost 13 times in his last 15 clay court matches.
