Fourth-seed Roberto Bautista Agut will have his task cut out when he faces in-form German Dominik Koepfer in the second round at the Hamburg Open 2020. Koepfer is in the form of his life, reaching the quarters at the Rome Masters last week and even pulled off a set against Novak Djokovic before eventually losing out in his last-eight clash.

Talking about the performance in the tournament so far, Bautista Agut had little difficulty winning his opening-round contest. The 32-year old Spaniard outclassed Nikoloz Basilashvili in straight sets 6-4, 6-3. Despite bowing out of the US Open early, Agut is in decent form as he was the runner-up at the Cincinnati Masters last month.

On the other hand, Dominik Koepfer had to really dig deep before overcoming the challenge of Yoshihito Nishioka in the Round of 32 match. The 26-year old German lost the second set before defeating Nishioka 7-6, 4-6, 6-1 in a three-set thriller.

Despite being in fine form, it is looking least likely that Koepfer will pull this off. A straight-set victory is on the cards for Bautista Agut unless the German brings his A-game and stuns his more fancied opponent. What we are certain to witness, though, is an entertaining encounter.

Match prediction: Roberto Bautista Agut defeats Dominik Koepfer comfortably in straight sets.
