Roberto Bautista Agut vs Jurij Rodionov: Preview

Bautista Agut had a successful start to the season, winning the championship in Doha and placing in the finals of the ATP Cup earlier this year. But both outcomes were on hard courts, although the Spaniard also came in second on a grass court in Mallorca. For the world number 20, things have been a little bit different on clay. For the first time this season, Bautista Agut competed on clay courts at the Madrid Masters, easily defeating Jenson Brooksby in his opening match. He has now competed in three red dirt matches, all of which he has lost. In the second round in Madrid, Dan Evans narrowly defeated him, while Dominic Thiem and Juan Pablo Varillas triumphed in Bastad and Gstaad, respectively.

Only seven of Rodionov’s main draw victories in his career, including one this year, were prior to this competition. This is why, in order to start, he required a win over Hernan Casanova in the opening round if he wanted to return to his career-best position of 125th in the world. If Rodionov wants to increase that pitiful total, he will need to perform just as brilliantly as he did against Casanova. The Austrian defeated Casanova 6-4, 6-2 in a match that lasted one hour and 22 minutes to advance, but it’s unclear if Bautista Agut would allow him to continue.

No previous matches have been played between Spain’s Bautista Agut and the 145th-ranked Rodionov.

Roberto Bautista Agut vs Jurij Rodionov: Prediction

Bautista Agut is the favourite to win, given his recent form, experience and expertise on clay.. It will be fascinating to see if it will be as simple as those odds suggest, but he is likely to win in two.

Prediction: Bautista Agut to win in straight sets.
