Reilly Opelka of the United States hopes to carry over the momentum from his inspiring Brisbane International campaign into Saturday’s first-round match with Gauthier Onclin of Belgium at the 2025 Australian Open. Opelka arrives in Melbourne as one of the breakout stars from several warmup tournaments that had taken place across Australia in the past two weeks. At the 2025 Brisbane International, Opelka came through with arguably the best brand of tennis of he has ever played as he eliminated a handful of elite opponents, including a stunning 7-6(6) 6-3 upset of former world’s No.1 and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinal. Opelka eventually conceded the title to Jiri Lehecka in the final due to a wrist injury. Onclin reached the main draw of the Australian Open after edging Mackenzie Mcdonald in a three-set tussle 6-7(7) 7-6(5) 6-1. Ranked No.236 in the world, Onclin will be making his first-ever Grand Slam appearance this Saturday,

Our Gauthier Onclin vs Reilly Opelka Prediction

Opelka is the heavy favorite to win his match with Onclin. However, the status of his wrist injury remains unclear. Opelka is a hard-hitter who is known for his thunderous serves. If the wrist continues to bother him up to this point, that injury will affect Opelka’s play, opening the door for Onclin to pull off an improbable upset.
