The Madrid Masters has officially begun with RO128 underway. Among the sea of games, one event that’s riling up bettors is the clash between Nicolai Budkov Kjaer and Reilly Opelka. But prospects are almost equally matched, giving each player high betting odds. Find out which player truly has the edge in our Nicolai Budkov Kjaer vs Reilly Opelka match prediction below.
Nicolai Budkov Kjaer will be amped for his second-ever meeting with Reilly Opelka as he hunts for his revenge. The two met in January, with Opelka leaving no room for doubt in his 3-0 win over Kjaer in the Australian Open RO128.
This time, Nicolai looks to get past the first round after winning both qualifying games in straight sets, beating Francesco Maestrelli and Moez Echargui. And there could be no better time for the Norwegian as Opelka enters off back-to-back defeats without making a set. The first came in the RO32 of the Miami 1000 against World No.7, Taylor Fritz.
That was followed by another defeat to fellow American Ethan Quinn in the RO32 of the Barcelona 500. However, for the four-time ATP singles title winner, this is a chance to bounce back as he faces a player he greatly outranks in the rankings.

Our Nicolai Budkov Kjaer vs Reilly Opelka Prediction
Reilly Opelka should be the winner of their second career encounter. Besides dominating in their clash this year, Opelka brings a ton of experience that the 19-year-old Nicolai Budkov Kjaer just lacks. He may have won his last two games, while Opelka lost his last two.
But Opelka lost those games to World No.7 and 48, right after beating Jack Draper (28th) and Nuno Borges (49th). Hence, our Nicolai Budkov Kjaer vs Reilly Opelka prediction is that Reilly Opelka wins.
