Reilly Opelka, an American tennis player, gets frequently caught up in disagreements while expressing his opinions. Additionally, the 25-year-old tennis player no longer feels the need to compete in the Doubles division. But when told to try the doubles game once more, the angry tennis player made some derogatory comments about the double tennis players, which might cause him trouble.

This isn’t the first time the 25-year-old has discussed getting paid less or more. He blasted those on the final list of the ATP 500 competition in Tokyo earlier this year for receiving pay that was much lower than what they received in 2018.

Reilly Opelka’s nasty comment on the doubles players

This time, the American tennis star hurled shade at the Doubles players on Twitter, calling them the “most overpaid” athletes in the world.  The young American tennis player, who took home the ATP Doubles title in Atlanta last year, said that UK spectators are inclined to watch doubles matches only when the best singles players compete in competitions.

To start with, a fan claimed that the popularity of doubles is too low and they should be played more. He responded over an ongoing debate that whether he should join the doubles tribe or not.  This remark from the 25-year-old came out to be shocking. He wrote, “Dubs players are the most overpaid athletes in the world.”
