A bad day at the office for Juan Martin Del Potro had to quit his slam ambitions in Melbourne.
Juan Martin could not cope with a very good Bautista-Agut (world no. 62) that has managed to win the match in 5 tough sets.
Even if Delpo fired an astonishing 28 aces, he couldn’t bring the match home to score 152 points vs Bautista-Agut’s 162. Match Stats
Delpo: He played a great match
The Argentine commented “I think he played a great match during the four hours.It’s tough when you play a very high level during four hours. Tough to beat the opponent. I was close.
“But in every moment I had, he played unbelievable shots. In break point down, he served well. He made winners with forehands, backhands, and he played to the line very often during the match. When you don’t have that little luck on your side, it’s another thing negative to play. I think he did really well.”
Next vs. Paire
Bautista-Agut will play Benoit Paire in the next round. Head to head is 3-0 for the Spaniard.
