Roberto Bautista Agut vs. Jaume Munar Head to Head Record, Preview and Prediction for Madrid Open 2025 Round-1

All-Spanish battle to entertain Madrid crowd in Round-1.

June 1, 2018, Paris, France: Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) in action during his match against Novak Djokovic (SRB) on day six of the 2018 French Open at Roland Garros.

The second out of three Masters-1000 tournaments on clay has officially arrived. In this fierce all-Spanish opening round encounter at the 2025 Madrid Masters, veteran Roberto Bautista Agut takes on protege Jaume Munar on Court Manolo Santana. The winner will face top seed and World No. 2 Alexander Zverev in the Round of 64.

Roberto Bautista Agut is redefining the saying that age is just a number. At 37, the Spaniard is set to complete two decades since turning pro this year. Bautista Agut’s best performance this season has been reaching the last 16 in Dubai and Bucharest. At the recently concluded BMW Open in Munich, the World No. 55 lost to Van de Zandschulp in the Round of 32.

On the verge of breaking into the Top-50 for the first time, Jaume Munar has caused a few upsets in the recent past. In Dallas, he beat No. 4 seed Ben Shelton; in Miami, it was the turn of former US Open champion Daniil Medvedev to suffer a shock loss; in Barcelona – Frances Tiafoe. The 27-year-old is 5-11 on clay courts over the past year.
