Reilly Opelka of the United States will battle compatriot Murphy Cassone in the first round of the 2025 Mubadala City Open on Monday in Washington D.C.
Opelka will be returning to the hard-court after picking six grass-court victories and making the second round of the 2025 Wimbledon Open. The big-serving American carries a 9-6 record on hard court this year and a 53.9 percent win in indoor matches throughout his career. Opelka accomplished his best finish at a major tournament almost four years ago, when he reached the fourth round of the 2021 US Open Championships.
Cassone punched his ticket to the main draw of the 2025 Washington Open after upsetting Rinky Hijikata of Australia 7-6(4) 1-2 ret. in the final qualification match. The 22-year-old Cassone currently ranks 185th in the world, but he holds a respectable 51-37 record in outdoor hardcourt matches. Cassone will be playing his 7th career match on the main tour on Monday after going 4-2 in his first six assignments on the ATP main tour level.

Our Reilly Opelka vs Murphy Cassone Prediction
Why should you pick Reilly Opelka to cover -3.5 games? Opelka is a firm pick to win by at least four games against Cassone, who only has one win against the ATP top-100 players. Meanwhile, Opelka parades a solid 52 percent win rate on the ATP Main Tour with a 9-6 slate in indoor hardcourt matches this year. The return to the hard court also means that Opelka’s serves will have more oomph to them, making it harder for most of his opponents to break the big-serving American. Cassone has only converted 4 out of 19 breakpoint chances in the two qualification matches, raising the question whether he has the return game to neutralize Opelka’s thunderous serves.
Our betting prediction for Reilly Opelka vs. Murphy Cassone: Reilly Opelka will cover -3.5 games.
