Roberto Bautista Agut vs Quentin Halys Prediction

Roberto Bautista Agut had to come from a set down against Fabian Marozsan and he managed to do just that as well as edging a deciding set tie-break to progress.

The 36-year-old now meets Quentin Halys who comes off his own three-set battle with Andrey Rublev. In similar circumstances, Halys lost the first set but showed great character to fightback and he eventually won the deciding set on a tie-break.

That was Halys’ third match in Dubai already as he came through qualifying over the weekend. The momentum may help him but it will be interesting to see how Bautista Agut fares here. Rublev won more points than Halys and only took two of his 12 break points against him. One suspects that if those chances present themselves here, Halys’ luck may eventually run out. 

We have a sneaky feeling for Bautista Agut but with no real confidence. Our preference is on game betting and this one potentially going to three sets.
