Bautista Agut Puts Spain One Win From SF

Roberto Bautista Agut has still not dropped a set at the ATP Cup, and Spain is one win away from facing the host country Australia in the ATP Cup semi-finals.

Bautista Agut, the highest-ranked No. 2 singles player in the tournament (No. 10), beat Belgium’s Kimmer Coppejans, who replaced Steve Darcis, 6-1, 6-4 on Friday night in Sydney. Bautista Agut broke four times and won 67 per cent (10/15) of his second-serve return points.

Rafael Nadal will face David Goffin for a chance to clinch the ATP Cup Final Eight matchup. Nadal leads his ATP Head2Head series 4-1 against Goffin.
