The win sets up a bid against the winner of Andy Murray and Gilles Simon. Murray is the world number two and now favorite to win it all at the Rolex Shanghai Masters. Agut will look to capitalize on his momentum going into the finals. Fellow Spaniard and golf superstar Sergio Garcia took to Twitter to react to the Agut win.
Amazing match from my good friend @BautistaAgut to beat @DjokerNole and reach his 1st Masters 1000 final! Awesome to watch!!
