Roberto won both duels in three sets, outlasting Djokovic in Doha in January and in Miami in March. This will be their first head-to-head duel on the grass court.

Our Djokovic vs Bautista Agut Wimbledon 2019 Betting Tip
Bautista Agut is playing in an excellent form at the moment, and he’s certainly capable of making this clash interesting to watch. Still, I don’t think he’ll be able to beat Novak Djokovic for the third time in a row. Djokovic was impressive this week, especially against Goffin, and Bautista Agut is a similar type of player as the Belgian.
It’s hard to find the value here whereas Djokovic is a firm favourite to win in straight sets, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Bautista Agut finds a way to earn a set. Roberto is an experienced player, so I hope he’ll cope with pressure well. Hereof, I would go with the over 31.5 games at 17/20 odds with BetVictor.
