The player from Castellón, number 84 in the world, stood firm with his serve – he did not face break balls against him – and shone from the back of the court, from where he broke his rival’s service twice in the first set .
The second set, in which the Spaniard missed a break opportunity, had to be resolved in the tie-break; The tie could only be broken in the 18th minigame, with which Bautista completed his victory in two hours. His next rival will be the also Russian Karen Khachanov.
On the other hand, Albert Ramos said goodbye to the Barcelona competition against the Frenchman Alexandre Müller in two sets (7-6(4), 6-0). Sudden death, after a break for each player, favored the Frenchman, who in the second set scored a ‘rosco’ that certified the Catalan’s defeat.
Martín Landaluce also said goodbye to Barcelona, who took the lead in his duel against the Dominican Nick Hardt (2-6, 6-4, 6-3). After winning the first set by winning six games in a row, the Spaniard lost in the second and third sets, with one serve lost in the first and two in the second.
Daniel Rincón could not move forward either, with no options against the Argentine Facundo Díaz (6-1, 6-4). Two breaks in the first set and one in the second condemned the man from Avila, number 216 in the ATP ranking.
