The Spaniard announces the arrival with photo from Valencia hospital
While 2020 will go down as a year most will never forget, Roberto Bautista Agut has a momentous first to remember his by – the birth of his son, Roberto. The World No. 10 in the FedEx ATP Rankings would be forgiven for being somewhat distracted in an earlier than expected US Open departure two weeks ago.
Wife Ana Bodi Tortosa was heavily pregnant back home in Spain and on Tuesday the couple welcomed their baby son. The pair married in the off-season, days after Bautista Agut had lost his father, while playing a pivotal role in Spain’s Davis Cup Finals triumph in Madrid.
Ya tenemos a Mini Rober en brazos! La mamá, una campeona, y el bebé están muy bien. Estamos inmensamente felices 💙

The Spaniard shared the baby news via Twitter and Instagram with a photograph from the hospital bed in Valencia on Tuesday. Fellow players Novak Djokovic, Marin Cilic, Fabio Fognini, Jan-Lennard Struff, Carla Suarez Navarro, Marcelo Melo, Pablo Andujar and Carlos Alcaraz were quick to offer their congratulations.
After he reached a maiden Grand Slam semi-final at Wimbledon last season Bautista Agut memorably spoke of how he was forced to postpone his bachelor party plans in Ibiza a week. He revealed he and his wife were expecting the first child in an Instagram post in May.
