Reilly Opelka vs Benjamin Bonzi

ATP Shanghai — Reilly Opelka vs Benjamin Bonzi

Event: Rolex Shanghai Masters • Round: Main Draw • Surface: Hard

🧠 Form & Context

Reilly Opelka (🇺🇸 #64)

🎢 Volatile but dangerous: 2025 includes wins over Rune & de Minaur (Miami/Cincy) and tight sets vs top seeds; still rebuilding post-surgeries.
⤵️ On a 3-match skid (Alcaraz at USO, Ruud at Laver Cup, Comesaña in Cincy), but against elite opposition.
🏟️ Shanghai history: 2R (2019), 1R (2024). Looks fitter than last autumn’s 0–3 Asia swing.
📊 2025: 28–23 | Hard 14–10.

Benjamin Bonzi (🇫🇷 #48)

🔁 Ranking stabilized by strong US summer (wins over Hurkacz, Tsitsipas, Medvedev across the season) despite patchy week-to-week results.
🆕 Shanghai debut.
⤴️ USO run: d. Medvedev R1, rallied from two sets down vs Giron; cooled since (lost to Marozsán in Beijing).
📊 2025: 20–22 | Hard 14–12.

🔢 Head-to-Head

Opelka leads 1–0 (Bordeaux Challenger 2018).
