What a great day Roberto Bautista has given Spanish tennis at the ATP in Antwerp. The player from Castellon has defeated Tomás Etcheverry in the round of 16, showing an increasingly strong game and achieving a feat (7-6(2) 6-4). Bautista has become the oldest quarterfinalist in the tournament's history at 36 years and 6 months, surpassing Richard Gasquet (36 years and 4 months). Furthermore, he hadn't reached the quarterfinals of an indoor tournament since 2022, so the Spaniard can take many positive things from this victory. Now, he waits for Auger-Aliassime or Fucsovics.
