Andy Murray: 'Roberto Bautista Agut will test me'

Andy Murray says that he is not expecting an easy ride against Roberto Bautista Agut in the third round of Wimbledon.

Andy Murray has said that he is expecting to be tested by Roberto Bautista Agut when he meets the Spaniard in the third round of Wimbledon.

The British number one coasted past Blaz Rola 7-5 4-6 6-2 6-2 in round two, but is anticipating a closer contest against the S-Hertogenbosch champion.

"The deeper you get into a tournament, the more you are going to get tested. You have to be ready and you can't get too down on yourself when it doesn't quite happen," he told reporters.

"It's a step up, he's probably established in the top 20 now and he's improving all the time. He's got the confidence of that win in Holland and he's proven he can play on grass.

"He's not like many Spanish players, he hits the ball very flat without much top spin. I practiced with him quite a bit before Madrid, so I know a fair amount about him."

Agut's recent victory in S-Hertogenbosch marked his first ATP Tour title.
