Opposed to South African Kevin Anderson this Monday in the first round of the Australian Open, Reilly Opelka easily won this duel between big servers (6-4, 6-4, 7-6). Always a good customer at a press conference, the American returned to an always special opposition between two players with the same style of play and with the same weapons.
“He (Kevin Anderson, editor’s note) certainly didn’t have his best day. I also put a lot of returns inside. I served better than him. I think between two great servers, whoever serves better wins. The other feels more uncomfortable and under pressure. Isner has a great track record against other great servers like Ivo or me precisely because he is the best at it, no doubt. It forces you to make mistakes that are not normal. »
