Hot Shot: Opelka flashes quick hands in Atlanta

Published Jul 23, 2019

Reilly Opelka showed off his lightning-quick hands in his opening round victory over Alexander Bublik in Atlanta.

Bublik serve-and-volleyed nearly the entire second set, opting for short first volleys to stretch out the 6’11” Opelka. On this particular shot, Bublik decided to blast his put-away shot right at Opelka, who reflexed it back for a winner with ease.

Opelka went on to win the match in straight sets and will face off in the second round against five-time BB&T Atlanta Open champion John Isner.
