Norrie will need to be consistent and proactive on serve against an efficient returner such as Bautista Agut with the Spaniard boasting an impressive break point conversion rate.

 

 

Playing styles and prediction

Bautista Agut has had a mixed season but still has a high ranking after an incredible run at Queen’s Club earlier in the grass court season. A mixture of power, depth and variety means Bautista Agut is a dangerous player on hard courts and the Spaniard will look to prove that once again as he aims to end her torrid run against Norrie.

Norrie will need to be consistent on serve and will need to be more efficient on break points if he wants to win this match. Meanwhile, Bautista Agut will use the backhand to try and pick Norrie’s game apart. This should be another physical and brutal match between these two players but if Norrie can raise his level from Toronto then he should secure a fifth consecutive victory over the Spaniard.

Prediction: Norrie in three sets.
