MADRID, 16 (EUROPA PRESS)
The man from Castellón, who had a placid debut after his opponent’s injury, needed to put on overalls to reverse Griekspoor’s audacity, which surprised in the initial tiebreaker. However, Bautista redirected without further shocks and ended the victory in a spectacular way by stringing together five consecutive games.
His next rival -already in search of the semifinals- will be the number one in the world, the Russian Alexander Medvedev, who has not given up a set throughout the tournament and is confirming his status as the main favorite. They have met three times on the circuit and all three were victories for Bautista.
In addition to the player from Castellón, the Spanish ‘Armada’ also keeps Pablo Carreño alive, who will face Australian Nick Kyrgios this Friday in search of a place among the top four on the German grass in Halle.
