Medvedev, Daniil vs Opelka, Reilly

The upcoming match between Daniil Medvedev and Reilly Opelka, set for July 23, 2025, promises to be a clash of contrasting styles and skill sets. Medvedev, known for his exceptional baseline play and mental toughness, faces a formidable opponent in Opelka, whose serve is arguably the most potent in the sport. This matchup offers intriguing betting opportunities given the diverse betting lists available.

Expecting the first set to have more than 7 games (Over 1st Set Games at 57.00) reflects the potential for a closely contested set. Medvedev’s strategic play might lead to longer rallies and occasional timeouts, while Opelka could struggle to break Medvedev’s backhand consistently. The return games by Medvedev could also contribute to extending the set.

The odds for the match going over 3.5 sets are relatively high at 82.90, indicating that a decisive early victory for either player is less likely. Medvedev’s ability to grind out points and his resilience in longer matches suggest that reaching at least five sets is a strong possibility, especially if Opelka’s serve does not maintain its initial dominance.

The opportunity to bet on under 2.5 sets (76.60) suggests that a scenario where the match concludes in straight sets might occur. Opelka’s serve could play a critical role in shortening the match, particularly if he manages to break Medvedev early and sustain momentum. However, Medvedev’s track record in five-setters adds a layer of uncertainty to this prediction.

With odds of 57.70, betting on fewer than 7 games in the first set suggests an early breaker or a hard-fought set extending slightly longer due to tiebreaks. Opelka’s serve might facilitate a quick break, leading to a compact first set, especially if Medvedev’s returns fall short of gaining an early advantage.

The prediction that the first set will not go to a tiebreak (73.40) hinges on one player securing a decisive break early. Opelka’s ability to hold his serve and potentially break early would prevent a tiebreak scenario, while Medvedev might aim to take small leads and hold his baseline aggressively.

At odds of 70.10, betting on the total number of games exceeding 22.5 points to a match that could feature long exchanges and multiple tiebreaks. Given Medvedev’s penchant for turning matches into strategic battles and the potential for Opelka to hold his service games, this prediction seems favorable.

With odds of 52.70, the likelihood of at least one tiebreak occurring in the match is significant. Given the competitive nature of both players, a tiebreak in any set is plausible, particularly if the match extends into the later rounds, allowing for a more evenly matched contest.
