Reilly Opelka Racquet – Specs & Details

Reilly is the tennis giant along with compatriot John Isner. He is the tallest ATP player and he is famous for having a devastating serve.

Opelka’s game is based on the power and accuracy of his first serve and the high kick of his second. However, unlike the others, he is good from baseline and can resist long rallies. Also, he has good variations like slices and drop shots, which tend to be effective.

Opelka has been successful so far. But, can he reach the Top 10 level of the ATP?

Reilly Opelka endorses the Wilson Pro Staff 97, but he actually plays with the old Wilson Six-One 95 16×18 racquet.
