The American tennis player Reilly Opelka is back at it, squabbling over the doubles category of the sport. This time, though, the ridicule has a lighthearted edge. So let’s explore what the tennis player has to say.

The 25-year-old tennis star has been outspoken about his displeasure with the Doubles category format for the previous few months. He not only disagrees, but he also thinks he will never compete in a doubles tennis match and would prefer to play tennis in the singles division.

Reilly Opelka finds a different way to mock the doubles category 

The American tennis player, who is quite active on his social media accounts, recently took to his Instagram to share a meme about himself. And made fun of the double category by hinting that he might just be a Forrest Gump forever rather than playing a double tennis match. As for Forrest Gump, he would just like to be a simple-minded tennis player who solely focuses on playing in the singles category. And really doesn’t want to try anything new, like participating in the doubles or the mixed doubles category in the sport.

He shared the meme that depicted a scenario for a tennis player. Play doubles or go for a run was the instruction, and below that came a video illustrating the 25-year-old tennis player’s response to the scenario. And even in that visual representation, the legendary Tom Hanks running away scene represented the American tennis decision.

And while sharing the meme, Opelka made it clear that his choice is literally the same as the one represented over there. Not only that, but a few days ago, the American tennis star also slammed the Doubles category format after facing a huge drawback at Indian Wells himself.
