If Dominic Thiem wanted to emulate Roberto Bautista Agut's example, the space on his work jersey would be scarce: the left and right sleeves of Thiem's shirt are filled with sponsors. the Chelsea FC emblem should therefore be placed on the front of the chest. Rafael Nadal would basically have more options for attaching the Real Madrid logo, but the Spaniard's outfitter (with the exception of former Li Na and currently Naomi Osaka ) does not allow any additional stickers on the jersey.

For years, that even applied to Roger Federer . Federer himself would have to inquire whether the Swiss felt any great desire to market his affinity for FC Basel internationally.

Bautista Agut the most important athlete from the province of Castellon

In any case, Roberto Bautista Agut is now also committed to FC Villareal on the tennis courts of the world, the club he loved for as a child: FC Villareal. He has just finished last season in a strong fifth place in the Primera Division and will compete in the Europa League next season.

"I've been with the club for over 20 years," said Bautista Agut of the Spanish edition of the ATP website. "I am very happy to be part of the Villareal family, to take care of the brand a little more and to wear its logo worldwide." This is initially agreed until the end of 2022.
Fernando Roig, President of Villareal FC, sprinkles flowers to his latest ambassador: “Roberto is the most important athlete in the province of Castellón, one of the best tennis players in the world. It is an honor for Villareal to have someone who is a smooth 10 as an athlete and person. ”

Roberto Bautista Agut was last used in the exhibition tournaments in Kitzbühel and Berlin and also named for the ATP Masters 1000 tournament from Cincinnati, which will also be held in New York City the week before the US Open.
