Agut feeling he can beat Novak again

FEW relish coming up against Novak Djokovic but Roberto BautistaAgut says the world No1 is exactly the sort he likes playing, having won their last two meetings.

In the first week of the tour, he beat Djokovic 3-6, 7-6, 6-4 in the semi-final of Doha and he followed it up in Miami with a 1-6, 7-5, 6-3 victory in the fourth round.The Spaniard, 31, said: “Novak is very solid from the baseline, he likes to play a lot of rallies. I like to play opponents like that.”

But Djokovic, right, countered: “Playing on grass is different.”
