ATP London – Carlos Alcaraz vs Roberto Bautista Agut (Semifinal Preview)

🧠 Form & Context

Carlos Alcaraz

• 🧘‍♂️ Free-flowing champion: With no prep and fresh off an Ibiza reset post-Roland Garros, Alcaraz is once again deep in a draw—seemingly without pressure.
• 🧱 Not at his sharpest: Tiebreak needed against wildcard Billy Walton, and hard-fought three-setters over Munar and Rinderknech. Still, he's escaped danger each time.
• 🔥 Grass dominance: Now 23–1 on the surface since June 2023, including titles here at Queen’s and Wimbledon last year.
• 🔝 Big stage comfort: 5–1 in semis this season. His ability to raise the level late in tournaments is elite.

Roberto Bautista Agut

• 🧓 Ageless grit: At 37, he's into his first semifinal of 2025 after upsetting Holger Rune in a tactical grindfest.
• ⚔️ War-tested route: Three straight wins in deciding sets this week — stamina could be a concern late in this match.
• 🛠️ Classic RBA: Short points, sharp serving, early aggression — all on display as he adapts his game to the grass with precision.
• 📉 Turnaround week: Entered London with just seven wins all season and only one QF appearance — now stands one match from a final.
