Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain moves one win away from reaching the quarterfinals of the Wimbledon Open for the second time in his career, but standing in the way is the tough American Tommy Paul, who also seeks his first quarterfinals stint in a grand slam tournament. Bautista-Agut captured just his fourth win in 10 head-to-head matches with Fabio Fognini. However, Saturday’s 7-6(6) 3-6 5-7 7-6(1) 6-4 win over the Italian couldn’t come at a perfect time as it sends him to the round-of-16 of the tournament. The Spaniard dug deep from a 1-2 set deficit to force a deciding set. With the score tied at 4-4, Bautista-Agut destroyed Forgnini’s service game in the 9th game of the fifth set by racking up four consecutive return points to get ahead 5-4. He held his serves in the next game to finally beat the Italian and advance to the next round. Meanwhile, Tommy Paul carries an 8-game winning streak into his fourth-round match with Bautista Agut. The reigning Cinch Open champion had to overcome strong challenges from Pedro Martinez Portero of Spain 6-2 6-1 4-6 6-3 in the first round and Otto Virtanen of Finland 4-6 6-3 5-7 7-5 6-4 in the second to book his ticket to the third round, where he destroyed Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan in straight sets 6-3 6-4 6-2.
