After Months of a Covid-19 Tennis Break, Palm Coasts Opelka Readies for U.S. Open in a Bubble

Since he was around 8 years old, Reilly Opelka has never had a problem with being motivated to smack a tennis ball. But with nothing but endless days in front of him for months at a time while he and other professional tennis players waited for Covid-19 conditions to improve, he admitted that all the time alone and off the road dulled his senses. Big names like Rafael Nadal, Gael Monfils, and Simona Halep have all withdrawn due to Covid-19 travel concerns. The city has been great and super supportive of me, and Im always staying looped in with whats going on, Opelka said. Like everything else, things are kind of on hold.Except for pro tennis, which blissfully for Opelka, is finally back.
