Bautista Agut Leaning on Montpellier Familiarity
Roberto Bautista Agut’s level has looked well below par this season, with his form dipping sharply in recent outings.
He has lost two out of two matches this year and was even handed a bagel by Juncheng Shang at the Australian Open.
The only real comfort for the experienced Spaniard this week is his past success in Montpellier. He finished runner-up to David Goffin in 2021 and followed that up with a quarterfinal appearance in 2022.

Christopher O’Connell Faces an Indoor Reboot
