Reilly Opelka remains true to his line: The American strikes only at home tournaments. After being able to hold up the winner's trophy in New York (or indoors on Long Island), in Delray Beach and in Dallas, Opelka now achieved his first tournament success on clay in Houston. Opelka won the duel between the two super servers against John Isner 6:4 and 7:6 (7).
Opelka had prevailed against Nick Kyrgios in the semifinals, Isner beat the last winner of the tournament in Houston: Cristian Garin had won in Texas in 2019, since then the event has not been held due to the corona pandemic. With the triumph of Opelka in Houston and Taylor Fritz three weeks ago in Indian Wells, two of the three individual titles played in the USA stayed in the country. John Isner also won doubles in both Indian Wells and Miami.
The two Australians Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell had already won the doubles in Houston on Saturday.
