Press Conference

R. BAUTISTA AGUT/F. Fognini

7-6, 3-6, 5-7, 7-6, 6-4

THE MODERATOR: How was that for you out there today?

ROBERTO BAUTISTA AGUT: Well, it was good. I think it was typical Grand Slam match. Very long. Very, very good level since the beginning until the end.

Well, I'm very happy. I think this result I was looking for a few months. I was playing very good tennis, but today was the day.

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. You're playing Tommy Paul next, I believe.

ROBERTO BAUTISTA AGUT: Yes.

Q. What have your experiences been like playing him before?

ROBERTO BAUTISTA AGUT: I played him four times, I think. We are 2-All, and he beat me the last two times. He's doing great on grass.

I just want to think on me and myself. I want to believe on my weapons, and hopefully I can play a good match against him.

Q. I know you don't want to think about him, but if somebody asks you what's what the we call the scouting report on Tommy Paul, how would you describe him as a player?

ROBERTO BAUTISTA AGUT: Well, he has very good legs, a very good eye. He has good serve. He also makes solid returns, and he's very solid from baseline.

He's very complete. He's a great player, one of the best. Well, it's going to be nice to face him.

Q. You say you're going to focus on yourself in terms of what sort of weapons do you think you will bring that will be effective in a match like that tomorrow?

ROBERTO BAUTISTA AGUT: Well, I don't want to tell you, but...

Q. I guess what I'm saying, are they different on grass than they are on --

ROBERTO BAUTISTA AGUT: No, I don't think so. It's just I believe on the things I do well. I want to recover well physically because it was very tough two days being all day long in the club and playing. Well, hopefully I can play a good match.
