Roberto Bautista Agut did not pursue a career in the game from the very onset. Bautista Agut was playing football for Villarreal C.F. until he was 14 years old, before developing a love for tennis.

The Spaniard has won nine singles career titles so far but is yet to win a grand slam. However, he came exceedingly close to the glorious achievement after reaching the semi-finals of the 2019 edition of Wimbledon.

There, he recorded the unique distinction of being the only player in the draw to not concede a set leading into the quarterfinals.

The Spaniard is also extremely sharp with offensive gameplay using his forehand. At the same time, he is also defensively astute and quite consistent across the court.
