Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain poses with the trophy following his Mens Singles Final win over Juan Martin Del Potro of Argentina at the 2018 ASB Classic. Bautista Agut has now won nine consecutive matches on Stanley Street, dating back to his 2016 triumph here. The Argentine couldn't get any part of his game going; not his serve, not his fabulous forehand, and he struggled to anticipate the Bautista Agut serve. Bautista Agut remained the dominant player in the second set, but he could surely feel Del Potro lurking. At 15-40 Del Potro saved one break point with an ace, but Bautista Agut cleverly sealed the next.
