Prediction: Rinky Hijikata VS Reilly Opelka 2025-05-25
The French Open is in full swing, and we've got a real barnburner of a match on our hands: Rinky Hijikata vs Reilly Opelka. Because what's more exciting than watching two guys named Rinky and Reilly whack a ball back and forth?
But seriously, folks, this one's got some interesting stats behind it. Reilly Opelka, the American giant (literally, he's 6'11"), is known for his powerful serve, which could give Hijikata some trouble. However, Hijikata's got some tricks up his sleeve, including a solid all-around game that could help him take down the big man.
The odds are currently sitting at Rinky Hijikata +3.5 games, which I think is a steal. Opelka's got the power, but Hijikata's got the finesse, and on the clay courts of Roland Garros, that could be a major advantage.
My best bet for this match? Rinky Hijikata +3.5 games. I think Hijikata's got a real shot at taking down Opelka, and even if he doesn't, he should be able to keep it close enough to cover the spread. So, if you're feeling lucky, throw some cash down on Hijikata and let's see if we can't make some money off this one.
And hey, if you're feeling really lucky, you could always take a shot at the over/under on total games played. With two players who can both bring the heat, this one's got the potential to go the distance. But that's a story for another time...
