Opelkarsquo;s next stop in his comeback trail is a familiar one. The 6rsquo;11rdquo; American first played in Cincinnati as an 18-year-old wild card in 2016 and reached the quarter-finals four years later. Opelka has competed in three tournaments in the past month following a 23-month injury layoff. /p
