Bautista Agut third man to quit Wimbledon due to COVID-19

Roberto Bautista Agut has become the third player to announce he has withdrawn from Wimbledon after testing positive for COVID-19.

The Spaniard, seeded 17, had been due to take on Daniel Elahi Galan in the second round on Court Three on Thursday.

The Colombian will now receive a walk-over.

Bautista wrote on Twitter: “I have tested positive for COVID-19. Fortunately, the symptoms are not very serious, but I think it is the best decision.

“Thanks for your support. I hope to come back soon.”

Bautista follows two former runners-up, Matteo Berrettini and Marin Cilic, who both pulled out ahead of the first round because of coronavirus.
