Firstly, because Novak Djokovic is very familiar with this phase of Grand Slam tournaments, he is striving for his fifth title on Church Road alone. However, there will be a premiere for Bautista-Agut on Friday: the 31-year-old has never been among the last four of a major. And "RBA" will come in strong form: in Halle he already had Roger Federer on the verge of defeat, in Wimbledon Bautista Agut only had to make a sentence against Guido Pella in the quarter-finals.

Djokovic is on the balance sheet

The very clear favorite is Novak Djokovic, not only because the industry leader won seven of the ten games against Bautista Agut. Djokovic's presentation against David Goffin was almost frighteningly good, only against Hubert Hurkacz did the Serb stretch a little. Djokovic has reached operating temperature, but the impression is that he still has room for improvement. After all, respect for Bautista Agut is great, at least verbally. The conditions in Wimbledon would suit his opponent, Djokovic politely said after his quarter-final victory.

Bookmakers at ComeOn! Do not impress further: For a success of Novak Djokovic, a odds of 1.08: 1 was lashed down. For Roberto Bautista Agut to win, the odds are 8: 1.
