AdvertisementThe Australian won 96 percent of his first-service points and never gave Opelka a break point opportunity on a hot and humid day in Georgia's capital.The 20-year-old broke again on match point when Opelka sent a backhand into the net for his 38th unforced error.
"Reilly is an incredible competitor, a super tough guy to play and a great friend," De Minaur said in a courtside interview."It's a bit of a lottery out here. I just had to guess the right way on a couple big points and I was fortunate to get the win today." De Minaur will play in his fifth career ATP final on Sunday with his lone title coming earlier this year at the Sydney International.
Despite the loss, Opelka will enter the top 50 for the first time in his career when the new rankings are released on Monday. In the final, De Minaur will face either Britain's Cameron Norrie or American Taylor Fritz, who were playing their semi-final later on Saturday.
