Roberto Bautista-Agut vs. Nick Kyrgios: Preview and betting tips

The first round of the US Open, the last Grand Slam tournament of this season, will offer a very interesting duel. Roberto Bautista-Agut will face Nick Kyrgios, who will be motivated. Who will be happy to advance?

Roberto Bautista-Agut is a thirty-three-year-old Spanish tennis player. He is currently ranked 21st in the ATP rankings. His career-high is ninth place from November 2019.

The year 2021 is not the most successful for the Spanish representative. He has earned the scalps of Thiem, Rublev and Medvedev, but has not been able to conquer any tournament. He reached the final in Doha, where he lost to Basilashvili.

Nick Kyrgios is a 26-year-old tennis player originally from Australia. He is ranked 86th in the ATP rankings, but this is mainly due to the smaller tournaments where Kyrgios is not playing his best tennis.

However, the same cannot be said about Grand Slam events, where the Australian comes with huge motivation. However, we must point out that in Flushing Meadows Kyrgios went the furthest in the third round (2014, 2016, 2018).

So what to bet on? The Spaniard is the paper favourite for Tuesday’s contest, but if Kyrgios shows his best tennis, he will have a huge chance to advance. The controversial tennis player should win at least one set.

This will be the third time these two players will meet, and the statistics are currently tied. Undoubtedly, we can look forward to a balanced duel, which should offer at least four sets.
