Kyrgios vs Opelka: Prediction
Both players are big servers; so, for either of them to get the better of each other, they need their services to be on point. However, there will be a point when they will engage in rallies.
Kyrgios has the ability to produce some extraordinary things and Opelka may find it hard to cope up with the Australian stars’ display of skills.
