AGUT: I LOVE DJOK FIGHTS

- BY MATTHEW DUNN

FEW relish coming up against Novak Djokovic, but Roberto Bautista Agut says the world No.1 is exactly the sort he likes playing best.

This year, he has won their last two meetings, beating the Serb in the semi-final of Doha and then in Miami.

“As Novak is very solid from the baseline, he likes to play a lot of rallies. I like to play opponents like that and, in that sort of match and against Novak, that’s what we do.”

But Djokovic, going for a fifth Wimbledon title, said: “He’s won twice against me, but on grass is different. And I’ll be tactically prepared.”
