THE PREDICTION

This fixture between Andy Murray and Roberto Bautista Agut will always throw up memories of the Australian Open in 2019, where the Melbourne organisers effectively retired Murray’s career with a now infamous farewell video after he lost to the Spaniard in five sets – his body looking like letting him down for the last time. Since then, the Brit has undergone successful hip replacement surgery and, this season, reintegrated himself back into a full tour schedule against all the odds. However, RBA beat the former world number one comprehensively at the Qatar Open this March, on his way to a 10th of now 11 ATP title, to bring their head-to-head record to a closer 3-2 in Murray’s favour. Beating Bautista Agut would be a significant moment for Murray, who came back from a set down to overcome Roman Safiullin on Tuesday, and he may never get a better chance than right now as the Spaniard has been fairly erratic since claiming his 11th title on clay at the Kitzbuhel Open.

Murray last beat Bautista Agut at the Shanghai Masters final back in 2016, with the Spaniard winning five of their seven sets played since. Back RBA to earn at least one here as the likelier of two very capable quarter-finalists.
