Reilly Opelka wins first match in 15 months, downs Tennys Sandgren at Charlottesville Challenger
ATPWednesday, 01 November 2023 at 16:30
America’s tennis star Reilly Opelka secured his maiden win in 15 months after returning from a lengthy injury spell.
The 26-year-old missed the majority of the last year and this year after suffering from fitness concerns for a long period of time.
However, Opelka has made a winning return as he defeated fellow American Tennys Sandgren in the round of 32 of the Charlottesville Challenger event with a score of 6-4, 7-5 on Wednesday.
Opelka is now set to face off young Aidan Mayo in the round of 16 clash of the competition on Thursday.
The Michigan-born will be hoping that recent results will help him regain his previous form despite staying on the sidelines for a long time.
Opelka, who is the tallest player to player in ATP events, does not have a great record while playing at the highest level.
His best performance in any Grand Slam came in 2021 where he was knocked out of US Open after suffering a defeat in the fourth round to South Africa’s Lloyd Harris with a score of 6-7, 6-4, 6-1, 6-3.
Last year, Opelka participated in three out of the four Grand Slams but failed to qualify in the fourth round or beyond in any of the competitions.

- As for ITIA -- who, or what entity, oversees this untrustworthy organization?? Too many recent cases of suspensions over tests proving minimal stats at best. Neither Iga nor Simona showed even a hint at prolonged use. Sinner, we don't know because the secrecy was extreme. Now we find ITIA flat-out LIED about speaking directly with the manufacturer of the drug in question associated with Iga. Are we to believe ITIA can be trusted? Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
