By Harry Floyd
Roberto Bautista Agut SHOCKS the top seed and heavy favorite Novak Djokovic at the 2019 Miami Open. Here’s how it happened.
The 22nd seeded Roberto Bautista Agut setup another highly anticipated matchup with Novak Djokovic at the 2019 Miami Open this week. The two last faced each other in the semifinals at the Qatar Open earlier this year. There, it was Bautista Agut who bested the world number one. He would advance to the finals, defeating Tomáš Berdych and earning the title.
An impressive start the 2019 ATP Tour has made Bautista Agut someone to watch in men’s singles. In Miami this month, he keeps up his newfound momentum with a shocking upset over Djokovic yet again…
Bautista Agut defeats Djokovic in a three set thriller at the Miami Open. Winning 1-6, 7-5, 6-3, the Spanish tennis star appears to have Djokovic’s number right now. With the top seed ousted, the path to a title gets even more interesting.
Up next for Bautista Agut is another tough opponent. He takes on the tournament’s defending champion in John Isner. The towering American is also surging at the moment and is coming off of a strong win over British number one Kyle Edmund.
Isner and Bautista Agut don’t have a long history of playing one another but the American does have the slight edge throughout their career head to head meetings. Take a look here. We’ll pick the defending champion to advance but this will not be an easy one for the American. Bautista Agut will be riding high after yet another upset over Djokovic.
Check back to see how all of the men’s singles action in Miami goes down this week. We are moving toward a thrilling finish and players like Roberto Bautista Agut cannot let up now if they hope to take the title. For the last three years on the ATP Tour, the Spanish tennis star has earned two titles. With one already in 2019, he looks to add a second at the Miami Open.
