Reilly Opelka succumbed in his debut at ATP Shanghai 2025 after a poor match against the Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi. The American arrives somewhat mentally burnt out at the end of the season, incapable of stringing together wins on surfaces that, in theory, should suit him perfectly... although perhaps the Chinese tournament is not the case. Reilly complained during the match about a bad bounce on the line to the referee, something that shouldn't happen on a hard court; the referee told him that, beyond pointing it out, he couldn't do anything about it, which led Opelka to express himself very clearly. "Don't act like what I'm telling you doesn't make sense. They have to do something. This is something you can expect in a Futures, but not in a Masters 1000, having a crack in the court is typical of Futures", commented a frustrated Reilly who ended up conceding the match amidst complaints and gestures.
