Bautista-Agut arrives as the favorite in his Wimbledon debut
The player from Castellon arrives with good feelings to the third major of the season. In Mallorca, he found a good level again, a reason to believe that he can string together victories at the All England Club. In this first step, he is the favorite against an opponent with few credentials in these kinds of events and with an unreliable current form.
Roberto Bautista Agut forecast: data and current form
That was the third time this season that the player from Castellon managed to string together triumphs. The previous ones were on the cement of Hong Kong (Quarterfinals) and on the clay of Barcelona (Third Round). He has 12 wins and 13 losses in 2024 (ATP).
On the grass of the All England Club, Bautista-Agut achieved his best result in a Grand Slam. In 2019, he fell in the semifinals to Novak Djokovic (4 sets). On 3 other occasions, he reached the Fourth Round (2021, 2017, and 2015).
The current world number 87 is coming off a First Round defeat in Mallorca against British player Paul Jubb (1-6, 2-6). He had to go through the Qualifying rounds to enter the main draw.
Maximilian Marterer forecast: data and current form
The German won just one ATP match throughout the season (9 losses). That success came in the First Round of Roland Garros against Australian Jordan Thompson.
The 29-year-old lefty has the difficult task of defending the Third Round from 2023. In the last edition, he was eliminated in that stage by Djokovic in 4 sets.
