Claim Welcome Bonus🎾 Stefanos Tsitsipas
In previous seasons, Tsitsipas has enjoyed his time at Barcelona courts. Although he narrowly lost his most recent ass, the Greek still floats on the clay like a sculptor working on a masterpiece. He faced Lorenzo Musetti and got off to a shaky start before demonstrating determination and calm in the second before finally succumbing to defeat in three sets (1-6, 6-3, 6-4). Four out of five first serves were made, broken at 82 percent but lost on a return. His forecourt game is far from its best, but signs of form are there - and sometimes that's all he takes to strike on clay.
🎾 Reily Opelka
A rather fearsome figure whom they call a server, measuring 6 feet 11 inches tall, does not have the same frightening effect on clay as on hard court. Opelka has a raw powerful energy outstanding enough to dispel the worth of even the best baseliners; sometimes, however, his tools let him down at this slow surface. In his last game, a pretty straightforward straight-set loss to Tomas Machac (6-7, 3-6), he served 19 aces and did not convert a break point. His back game hasn't even touched the orbit; 10% off first serves returned. However, one always keeps the potential fire of Opelka dangerous, especially in the first rounds, as provided his serve-one matches one's rhythm as well as nerves.
