THE LOWDOWN
DANIEL EVANS
World number 36 Dan Evans looked in good shape in a straight-sets victory over Federico Delbonis on Sunday but the 31-year-old is looking for back-to-back wins on tour for the first time since the Sydney Tennis Classic in January, where he lost in a tight quarter-final to eventual champion Aslan Karatsev. Evans won his first ATP title in January last season with an excellent campaign at the Murray River Open in Melbourne.
ROBERTO BAUTISTA AGUT
World number 19 Roberto Bautista Agut made short work of Jenson Brooksby on Tuesday, conceding just two games to the American in revenge for a tight three-set defeat at the Miami Open. The 34-year-old is an excellent all-courter with titles on all three surfaces and he made it a career total of 10 ATP titles with victory at the Qatar Open back in February. RBA was a semi-finalist here at the Madrid Open in 2014, losing in straight sets to eventual champion Rafael Nadal.
THE PREDICTION
This should be a vastly entertaining first meeting between Dan Evans and Roberto Bautista Agut as two of the more entertaining players on tour. RBA will be well-backed as a very popular player here in Madrid with his excellent turnouts for Spain over the years but Evans looked in great shape against Delbonis in the first round and he usually fares well in first meetings as players take time figuring out his game. Given that Evans has failed to win back-to-back matches this year, though, backing Bautista Agut to win outright looks a reasonable conclusion here, especially on a surface that favours him over the Brit.
