Reilly Opelka takes aim at doubles tennis after Xavier Malisse comes out of retirement again for European Open
ATPFriday, 21 October 2022 at 23:30
Reilly Opelka took aim at doubles tennis with a sarcastic comment on the news of Malisse briefly unretiring to play in Antwerp.
For the second year in a row, Xavier Malisse unretired to play some doubles tennis at the only event hosted by Belgium in the calendar. The Belgian teamed up with Diego Schwartzman this year and they won their opening match.
The news about Malisse's return served as an easy volley for emerging tennis troll Reilly Opelka who made a sarcastic comment about it. He quoted the announcement from the Tennis Channel writing:
"#watchmoredoubles"
The caption was accompanied by a rolling eyes emoji. When a fan called him on it, Opelka clarified that he was throwing shade at doubles tennis and not Malisse. He also called the former player a legend:
"Totally agree. Was just throwin shade at dubs in general. Not X, thats mans a legend."

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
