Opelka Beats Mpetshi Perricard In Brisbane, Reaches First Final Since 2022
Brisbane International ATP Tour: In a battle between two of the biggest serves on the ATP Tour, Reilly Opelka came out on top against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the Brisbane International here on Saturday. In an absorbing clash, the 6’11” Opelka earned a 6-3, 7-6(4) win against 6’8” Mpetshi Perricard to reach his first ATP Tour final since 2022.
"It is great to be in another final. I didn't think I would be playing one of these at all after the past year," said Opelka, who missed the majority of the past two years due to a wrist and hip injury. "One guy, kind of a miracle, a Canadian guy fixed me and I started training and once I was out of pain the confidence came back."
With his 85-minute win, the American recorded his 100th tour-level victory and advanced to his seventh tour-level final. Chasing his fifth ATP Tour crown and first since Houston in 2022, Opelka will meet Jiri Lehecka in Sunday’s championship match, the ATP reported on its website on Saturday.
