Command Analysis
Roberto Bautista Agut
SpainAfter a landslide victory over Tommy Paul at the start of his Toronto campaign (6-3, 6-4), Bautista Agut had a tough fight against Diego Schwartzman in the third round match (6-3, 3-6, 7-5).
Bautista Agut played a brilliant third set against the Argentine, which allowed him to advance to the quarterfinals. We must admit, Bautista Agut has quickly adapted to the hard courts in Toronto. Before the start of this tournament, he didn't show great performance in Gstaad and Kitzbuhel on clay.
Reilly Opelka
USASo far, Opelka has coped with all the difficulties he had in Toronto. At the start of the tournament, Opelka outplayed Nick Kyrgios in three sets (4-6, 7-6, 6-4), then defeated Grigor Dimitrov in two sets (6-3, 6-4).
He had quite a close match against Lloyd Harris, in which he eked a victory (4-6, 7-6, 7-6). Opelka's power serve has been of great help to the American tennis player: in three matches Opelka hit 55 aces.
