His surface strength index of 9.10 aligns favorably for hard courts, complemented by a mean serve index of 97.00 and a mean return index of 86.97. In contrast, Christopher O'Connell ranks 77th with a lower form index of 38.32 and an Elo rating of 736.45. Like Bautista Agut, he has zero fatigue, but his surface strength index is slightly higher at 9.99. O'Connell's mean serve index of 95.96 and mean return index of 85.09 indicate a notable gap in serving ability, with a difference exceeding 5 points in mean serve index. Examining recent performances, Bautista Agut has had a mixed bag, winning two of his last three matches, including a solid victory over Cameron Norrie. However, he most recently fell to Ben Shelton in a straight-sets loss.
