Roberto Bautista Agut (Esp) vs. Reilly Opelka (Usa) – Score prediction (9.10.2019)

Overview.

Roberto Bautista Agut is seeded #8 and given a bye in the first round as he makes his seventh consecutive appearance in Shanghai Masters this week. The Spaniard made a solid start to the Asian swing by progressing to the semifinal in Zhuhai but was forced to retire from his opening round match in Beijing last week.The first-round exit in Beijing last week ended the Spaniard’s run of six consecutive quarterfinal (or better) appearances in ATP Tour events. Despite retiring twice so far in 2019, Roberto Bautista Agut has delivered consistent results over the last ten months, and as a result, he made his top 10 debut recently.

Roberto Bautista Agut posted his career-best result in Masters 1000 events here at Shanghai Masters in 2016 when he won five consecutive straight-set matches — including against Novak Djokovic in the semifinal — before losing to Andy Murray in the title-decider.Reilly Opelka continued his run of winning at least one match in six consecutive tournaments with a solid straight-set win over Dusan Lajovic in the first round of Shanghai Masters. Opelka fired 12 aces, won around 90% of his first-serve points and held all his service games with ease, 6-3 6-4.

This is the big-serving American’s first-ever appearance in Shanghai Masters. In fact, he made his main draw debut in the Asian swing only in Tokyo last week, where he defeated the likes of Taylor Fritz and Gilles Simon to reach the semifinal. Roberto Bautista Agut is the better all-round player, and he starts the pair’s first-ever meeting as the favorite, but it’s not going to be an easy outing for him as fast conditions in Shanghai favors the American to an extent.
