Top seed Novak Djokovic is the only remaining seeded player in the top half of the Brisbane International. He faces unseeded Reilly Opelka in the last eight of this outdoor hard court tournament. Time to read our match prediction.

The winner of this match will be up against either Jakub Mensik or Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard for a place in the final of this ATP 250 event. Novak Djokovic is the world number seven and will stay in that position even if winning this tournament 

He only won one title last year and that was an Olympic Gold Medal on clay. Winning this tournament will end his wait for the 100th ATP title of his career. Under new coach Andy Murray, he's had straight sets wins over Rinky Hijikata and Gael Monfils, all four sets being won 6-3.

Now he faces Reilly Opelka who is up to 244 in the world rankings after reaching this quarter-final. The American has had to make his way back up the rankings after being off-court due to injury.

He reached the Hall of Fame Open semi-final last year but hasn't made much impact since then. It's gone well in Brisbane with wins over Federico Augustin Gomez and in round two, Matteo Arnaldi, winning both sets in a tie-break.

We go for over 19.5 games in this match.
