MADRID, 5 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish tennis player Roberto Bautista could not qualify this Friday for the semifinals of the Hong Kong tournament, scoring for the ATP and which is played on hard court, when he fell to the Austrian Sebastian Ofner in two sets by a double 6-4.
The man from Castellón could not extend his career in his debut in 2025 and get into his first semi-finals since those played last year on the grass in Halle (Germany) against an opponent who did not give him too many concessions with the serve, with which he signed 21 direct aces, and he took good advantage of his opportunities to the rest.
Thus, Ofner made the most of the break on the Spanish player’s first serve and from there Bautista, who had to overcome more complicated situations with the serve, had no options to recover the disadvantage due to the Austrian’s strength mainly with the first service.
In the second set, the man from Castellón tried to hold on to his serve and wait for an opportunity for the rest that never came because the Central European did not let up and the most he conceded to the Spaniard in the entire match was two ‘deuces’ in the sixth game. By then, he had already managed to break and gain an advantage that he did not waste to put an end to Bautista’s adventure.
