The qualifier, Dane Sweeny, will be looking to continue with his winning start to the season when he faces off with Riley Opelka in Brisbane. This will be the first-ever match between these two. Read on for our prediction for this first-round showdown.
Reilly Opelka had a superb Brisbane campaign last year and finished as runners-up. The American was returning to the competition after a six-year hiatus. He fought against the odds and even had a famous victory against Novak Djokovic.
In his return, he will hope to go one better and end a four-year wait for a tour crown. Opelka ended 2025 ranked 52nd in the ATP. He won 33 matches but finished with three straight losses.
Dane Sweeny is in the main draw in Brisbane for the first time. He won both of his qualifiers with one set dropped. After defeating Jacon Fearnley in the first match, the Australian would need a decider in his next outing.
Facing off with compatriot Chris O’Connell, Sweeny won in two hours and 30 minutes after battling from a set down. The 24-year-old had a dominant 2025 campaign, and it is no surprise that he has started the season strongly.
Though largely competing outside the tour, Sweeny won an incredible 78 matches, with 71 of those being on hard courts.

Our Reilly Opelka vs Dane Sweeny Prediction
Our prediction for Reilly Opelka v Dane Sweeny is that Dane Sweeny wins. Opelka may have reached the Brisbane final last year, but he isn’t our bet to win this fixture. This is because he lacks match fitness, having not played in two months.
The American also finished last season in poor form and is on a three-match skid. Sweeny, on the other hand, has won twice already this season, excelling against players ranked higher. He is also a hardcourt specialist. Playing on home soil is also an added advantage for the Australian.
