On Friday, August 19, Roberto Bautista Agut and Borna Coric are slated to square off in the Cincinnati Open’s third round. The competition is slated to take place from August 14 through August 21. Read below for Roberto Bautista Agut vs Borna Coric Prediction, Head-to-Head, Preview, Betting Tips and Live Stream.
Roberto Bautista Agut performed admirably in Montreal, but Casper Ruud upset him in the third round. When he encounters a well-known opponent in Cincinnati, he will have the opportunity to move on to the next round.
The Spaniard might have met fellow countryman Rafael Nadal, but Borna Coric’s incredible comeback victory prevented that from occurring. He has a 4-3 advantage after seven encounters with the Croatian.
Rafael Nadal was defeated by Borna Coric after the Croatian gave it everything in their first match since Wimbledon. Although the victory over Nadal was spectacular, it makes sense. Although Nadal acknowledged before the competition that he doesn’t anticipate much success, he would have preferred to play a few more matches prior to the US Open.
In any case, Coric put on a brilliant aggressive display, topping it off with a superb forehand winner. Coric’s aggressive play produces a lot of victories but also a lot of errors.

Roberto Bautista Agut vs Borna Coric head to head record
When creating a prediction for Agut-Coric, it is best to not place too much emphasis on the parties’ past head-to-head matches given that their most recent encounter was in 2018. Then Borna beat Roberto in Halle ahead of schedule. However, things drastically changed after that.

Roberto Bautista Agut vs Borna Coric Prediction
Borna Coric, a former world number 12 who defeated Rafael Nadal on Wednesday to take a 3-2 lead in their head-to-head series, would be thrilled with his performance. The 25-year-old is currently on the protracted road to recovery after missing a year of the tour due to surgery, and he will view this as a significant step in his quest to return to the top 20 and beyond.
Roberto Bautista Agut, the world’s number 19, defeated Marcos Giron in straight sets for a far more pleasant day on the court. He advanced to this stage of the Canada Masters last week before falling to Casper Ruud in a close match.
After such an effort against Nadal, it is difficult to predict how well Coric will do tonight, but his confidence will be over the roof, and that is a potent force for 34-year-old RBA to counter.
Although they have not met since 2019, when both players were at their best, the Spaniard currently holds a 4-3 head-to-head advantage against Coric. With a 2-1 advantage on hardcourts and his success against Nadal, Coric should be able to take at least one set in this match.
Although betting on Bautista Agut to win three sets is feasible, it is still a smart choice to back him to win at least one set.
