WIMBLEDON, England — Roberto Bautista Agut came to Wimbledon this year with big plans — none of which involved reaching the semifinals. At 31, the Spanish baseliner had never made it past the fourth round at the All England Club before, and he did not expect that pattern to change. He planned to be on an island in the Mediterranean this week, enjoying his bachelor party.
“We had everything organized,” Bautista said Wednesday after beating Guido Pella, 7-5, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, in a quarterfinal on No. 1 Court. “My friends, six of them, are all there.”
The sunny beaches of Ibiza can wait.
