NEW YORK — Reilly Opelka hammered 27 aces in a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Mackenzie McDonald on Thursday to book a semifinal meeting with Alex Michelsen at the ATP grass court tournament in Newport , Rhode Island. Opelka , playing on a wild card in his first tournament in almost two years, became the lowest-ranked player to reach a semifinal in the ATP era, having fallen to 1,188th in the world as he recovered from hip and wrist operations.
'I was serving for it up 40-love and threw in two double faults. So that was a little bit out of character,' he said. 'But that's why I'm here. I'm here to try to shake off some of that rust — better I think to do it here and get it out of the way as opposed to maybe US Open.'Third-seeded Michelsen, 19, is into the semifinals for the second straight year thanks to a 6-4, 6-4 victory over fellow American Aleksandar Kovacevic.
