Bautista Agut beat then-no. 1 Novak Djokovic en route to the 2016 Shanghai final in similar fashion to del Potro s upset of No. 1 Rafael Nadal in the 2013 semi-finals. Also on Stadium Court, 38-year-old Ivo Karlovic clashes with 36-year-old Feliciano Lopez in the second-oldest match on the ATP World Tour since 1981. Tommy Haas win over Roger Federer at Stuttgart on June 14 featured a combined age of 75. Karlovic is 6-3 against Lopez with all nine matches featuring at least one tiebreaker and eight of the nine first sets going to a tiebreaker. Two of the ATP s hottest players will meet on Union Pay 3 when #NextGenATP star Andrey Rublev faces fast-rising Bosnian Damir Dzumhur. Both men broke into the Top 40 last month after winning their first career titles -- Rublev at Umag and Dzumhur at St. Petersburg. Rublev defeated Dzumhur on September 2 en route to becoming the youngest US Open quarter-finalist since 2001.
