Everyone should be proud of the small wins in pursuit of the larger goal, including yourself.

Why should that be any concern of your’s?&quot;I definitely think I have top 10 potential&quot; - Reilly OpelkaDay One: The Championships - Wimbledon 2022Reilly Opelka exuded confidence in his potential to be a top-10 player. The American is as close to breaking inside the top-10 as he has ever been and is currently ranked No. 17 in the ATP rankings. Having said that he can reach the Top-10, Opelka also believes it is impossible to predict the same as things can change very quickly due to the competitiveness on tour.&quot;Yeah, I definitely think I have top 10 potential. I think I have top 10 potential. (But) it's hard to predict. I think it's actually almost impossible to predict a top 10 guy. A lot can happen. There's a lot of different surfaces, a lot of different conditions throughout the year that factor that,&quot; Reilly Opelka said during a pre-event press conference at the Citi Open.He also shared his views on having as many as eight American players in the top-50 of the ATP rankings and whether or not he feeds off the success of his compatriots. Opelka is the second highest-ranked American player with World No. 12 Taylor Fritz leading the group. He believes that tennis is an 'individual sport' and that the number of Americans in the top-50 has no bearing on his success. &quot;I don't feed off it at all. Why should I? It's not a competition. It's an international sport. I don't feed off of what they're doing. I don't feed off of how many we have in the top 50. It's an individual international sport,&quot; he said further.
