Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the ATP London match.
Roberto Bautista Agut has already begun his grass-court campaign, while Jakub Mensik returned home to Prostejov earlier in June to compete in a Challenger event and has yet to begin this stage of the season.
Roberto Bautista Agut
Last week, the Spaniard participated in 's-Hertogenbosch but was handed a difficult opening-round draw against Hubert Hurkacz, losing in straight sets (6:7, 4:6) in a competitive encounter. Since Madrid, Roberto Bautista Agut has only faced higher-ranked opponents, recording four victories and five losses.
Jakub Mensik
Last season, the Czech player won just two of his seven matches on grass—a detail worth highlighting. However, Jakub Mensik is developing rapidly in all aspects of his game. A year ago, he was 18 years old and ranked in the 80s and 90s in the ATP standings. This season, he has compiled a 20-10 win-loss record and currently sits 17th in the standings, a notable improvement from last year's 25-20.
Roberto Bautista Agut vs Jakub Mensik Prediction
Roberto Bautista Agut is now 37, and while he posted a solid 25-21 record in 2024, his 2025 season has been on a steep downward trend with a 7-15 record. The two players met once earlier this year in Miami, where Jakub Mensik claimed victory in three sets (6:4, 3:6, 6:1). The Spaniard still has the ability to challenge the rising star, but the Czech player is expected to come through once again.
