Roger Federer: 'Bautista Agut is a top player, I expected tough match'
Roger Federer is safisfied with his three-set win over Roberto Bautista Agut in Halle. The Swiss player said: ”He’s a top player and he has beaten top guys before, played good at big events, gives the best players a hard time and beats them sometimes. You’ve got to expect him to come out there and play a tough match. He’s able to stay in the rallies on the grass court and he has a very dangerous forehand. I’m not surprised about the tough match and enjoyed the battle."
Meanwhile at Queen's Felix Auger-Aliassime commented on his breakthrough this year. The Canadian defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas on Friday. “How do I explain it? I think it's the result of a lot of work behind years and months. I think even last year I was having wins that I'm having this year, like, beating Top 20 players, but I just couldn't find a way to repeat that over the weeks and in a full tournament. I think this year is just the fact that everything added up, all the work that I have done, because I felt like for a year now I have been playing pretty well, but I think this year I just kind of found my rhythm, I just found my beat, and I think I have been on the right track. I haven't left sight of it. I think that's how I explain my rapid rise this year.”
