ATP Hertogenbosch
Opelka R. vs Bergs Z.
🧠 Form & Context
Reilly Opelka
🚀 Back in Business: After a long injury layoff, Opelka is gradually rediscovering form in 2025, reaching his second semifinal of the season following Brisbane.
🌱 Servebot Mode Activated: On grass, his huge serve becomes an even greater weapon. He’s hit over 60 aces in his three main draw matches here.
🧱 Tiebreak King: All six sets this week ended 7–6, including wins over Jarry and Medvedev—he’s mentally locked in on key points.
📈 Momentum Building: This is his best stretch since early 2022, and his movement, while still not at peak, is sufficient on low-bounce courts.
Zizou Bergs
🔥 Quiet Surge: The Belgian is putting together a stealthily strong season with 22 wins, including standout upsets of Rublev (Miami) and Bublik (Munich).
🌿 Comfortable on Grass: Now 3–0 on grass in 2025 and growing more confident with every match. He thrives in rhythm and rallies, with solid footwork and timing.
💪 Resilient Fighter: Dropped a set in each of his first two rounds but held nerves to win two third-set tiebreaks. Has that gritty, “never out” energy.
📍 Revenge Mindset: Beat Opelka last year in Winston-Salem in three tight sets. A return clash with much higher stakes.
