Wawrinka is certainly good. At his home tournament, Stan, with the support of the local fans, has shown an excellent game, thanks to which he has managed to get past Ruud and Nakashima. However, we believe the same scenario will not work against Bautista Agut.
The tennis players have met each other twice before and both matches were short. The match in St. Petersburg ended in two sets and the meeting in Doha three years ago was also played in two sets.
Bautista Agut had only given up a total of ten games to his opponents in the previous two rounds.
In the first match, Roberto confidently defeated Laslo Djere (6-4, 6-1). Roberto took the second set with a score of 6-1.
On Thursday, Bautista-Agut defeated Andy Murray (6-3, 6-2). Andy was not ready to play against such a strong opponent, making too many mistakes.
However, it is worth noting that Bautista-Agut saved seven of the eight break points he had against Murray.
Bautista-Agut has won four of his last five matches at the ATP-500 level.
Wawrinka, meanwhile, won two matches in a row for the third time this season. This week, he is playing some of his best tennis of the year.
In the first round, Stan defeated Casper Rud (6-4, 6-4).
Next up was a meeting with Brandon Nakashima (6-4, 5-7, 6-4). Wawrinka overpowered Nakashima in the third set.
All in all, it looks like Wawrinka got a second wind at his home tournament.
