It feels very good to be next to Federer, Nadal, Djokovic - Bautista Agut
In a press conference, Roberto Bautista Agut commented on how it feels to compete in the same era as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. "It feels good to be next to them. They are one of the best players in the tennis era. They are such good sportsmen, a good tennis player. Well, it feels very good to be next to them and to be part of the semifinal in this tournament", said the Spaniard, who also recalled his 2018 grass-court season: "I was playing really good tennis last year. I had to retire, unfortunately, in the semifinal of Halle. Well, it felt really bad to watch the tournament at home. This year I was really, really motivated to come here. I wanted to play a good tournament. Well, everything works well."
Asked why he has success on grass, Bautista Agut replied: "Because my shots are really, really flat. I like to take the ball early, to be solid. With the experience of coming year by year to the grass, I really learn more about the movements on the grass. I feel I can play a solid game also from baseline and I can really develop the good things I do on the court here on grass.
