Inexhaustible Bautista

The Spaniard is still there, ready to defend like a devil, and what's more, he gets an affordable first round.

And yes, I say approachable because Fearnley has been in a slump since the end of the grass season. Between minor physical problems and the lack of matches with a broken rhythm and few sequences, the British player finds himself in completely uncharted territory here given his lack of preparation. Not a great preparation for Agut either, but for him it's less disturbing given his experience and also the fact that he's the one playing better at the moment. Except that Fearnley's very last match bothers me. The British player held his own against Medjedovic and above all I saw some very good tennis from him again, quite simply! It doesn't take much to get going again and I think that's almost enough to expect a little bit from him. He served well and that's important before facing an Agut who is often a sieve on the return leg. In terms of the game, I have no certainties, however, it's the first confrontation and we'll have to see at the moment. With the added physical angle in this match if it lasts, we can see things from both sides! I still have a little feeling in the pre-match..
