The one from Castellón Roberto Bautista qualified this Tuesday for the round of 16 of the tournament ATP 250 from ‘s-Hertogenbosch (Netherlands) by defeating the Swiss Marc-Andre Husler201 from silent and coming from the previous stage.
Bautista, ranked 85th in the ATP rankings, defeated Huesler in an hour and 38 minutes of playing 7-6(7) and 6-2 in a match that was delayed by rain and in which the Swiss only served in the first set, where he had two set points at 5-6 and 6-7 in the tiebreaker.
In the second set Bautista, who lost in his debut against compatriot Jaume Munar at Roland Garros, applied his experience and two breaks, in the third and seventh games, were enough to claim victory.
The man from Castellón will face in the round of 16 against Canadian Milos Raonic, currently world number 197, present in Bolduque with a protected ranking and who in the first round was eliminated by Australian Jordan Thompson, eighth seed, 6-3 and 6- 4.
Bautista and Raonic have met five times and the Canadian has won five times, the last of them in the round of 16 at the 2017 Australian Open.
