Yesterday, what happened in the match between Reilly Opelka and Kamil Majchrzak in the round of 16 of the ATP 250 Brisbane went almost unnoticed. The victory went to the Polish player (6-7, 7-6, 7-6) in three thrilling tiebreaks, but the standout stat of the match belonged to the American. The talented Reilly managed to hit a remarkable 44 aces, thus recording the third-highest total in a three-set match. Only Ivo Karlovic with 45 aces in Halle 2015 and Milos Raonic with 47 aces in Queen's 2024 rank higher in the historical chart.
