Reilly Opelka is making a comeback at the 2024 Citi Open in Washington.
He has been in the spotlight for various reasons over the past two years, but not much of it was about tennis. Known for his outspoken nature, he voiced opinions on numerous topics while recovering from an injury.
Opelka will soon be back on the court . His return is scheduled for July 27th at the Citi Open, marking his first match since November last year.
At that time, he played one match at an ATP Challenger event in Charlottesville before withdrawing from his next game. Fans had hoped to see him earlier this year, but after pulling out of the Australian Open due to ongoing injury issues, it became clear that his return would take longer.

Opelka’s Long-Awaited Return
It’s been quite a journey for Opelka. The last time he competed in a Tour-level match was also at the Citi Open back in 2022. So, it’s fitting that he makes his comeback at this same tournament exactly two years later.
For Opelka, now 26 years old, this moment is significant. He has been one of the top players and definitely has something to prove after being sidelined by injuries for so long.
The fast surface of the Citi Open should work to his advantage as he aims to regain form ahead of the US Open. Fans are likely excited about his return and hopeful he’ll be ready to compete strongly by then.
