My Prediction
Mensik in 3 setsNow here's a sight for you, the towering figure of Opelka trying to compete with Mensik and his extraordinary touch from the baseline. This is a Round of 16 contest with all the fixings, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's rewind a bit, shall we? Opelka walks into this matchup with mixed fortunes, pulling off a win against Loffhagen but suffering a straight-sets setback against Rinderknech. He did manage to confound a few folks with a stellar performance against Medvedev, mind you. So, which Opelka is going to grace the court, is the big question here.
On the other side of the fence, we have Mensik. We talk seeds in this game, he’s sitting comfortably at number 3. His recent form, however, leaves a bit of a question mark. Apart from a decent win against Norrie and Muller, he's been handed defeat by Bautista Agut, Rocha, and Hurkacz.
So, do we go with the consistency of Mensik or the unpredictable but huge-serving Opelka? I'd put my money on consistency. Sure, Opelka could overpower him, but it's about as likely as a snowfall in July.
