Opelka Upsets Djokovic In Brisbane International; Reaches Semifinals
Pat Rafter Arena: American player Reilly Opelka earned one of the biggest victories of his career on Friday at the Brisbane International as he upset top seed Novak Djokovic, who was aiming to win his 100th tour-level title. With this win, Opelka sealed a place in the semifinals and kept alive his chances of winning the title.
The American played a near-perfect match to blast the Serbian 25-time Grand Slam winner off the court in front of a capacity crowd at the Pat Rafter Arena in Brisbane. Opelka clubbed his forehand into the Djokovic backhand and served with consistent power and precision to earn a 7-6(6), 6-3 victory in the pair's first ATP heat-to-head meeting.
Opelka thus became the first American to beat Djokovic since Sam Querrey at Wimbledon in 2016, said a report on the ATP Tour website.
