Roberto Bautista Agut names five Spaniards he admired growing up
Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut, 31, revealed who were the Spanish players he grew up admiring.
Bautista Agut named four former players and world No. 1 Rafael Nadal, who is still active and one of the most successful players on the Tour.
"When I grew up I was watching TV and I was admiring the Spanish players. I was watching Juan Carlos Ferrero, David Ferrer. I was also admiring Carlos Moya, Sergi Bruguera, Rafael Nadal, all the Spanish players I was watching on TV," Bautista Agut told the ATP Cup.
Ferrero, Moya and Bruguera each won a Grand Slam title during their respective careers.
The all three mentioned players above never won a Major glory outside the French Open.
Bruguera won two titles at the French Open, while Ferrero and Moya each won one title at Roland Garros.
Nadal, 33, is by far the most successful player in the history of the French Open, having claimed a record of 12 titles at the event.
Recently, Bautista Agut and Nadal were the key in Spain winning the inaugural Davis Cup Finals.
Bautista Agut and Nadal will now be hoping to achieve the similar success at the inaugural ATP Cup in January.
