Ex-tennis pro Bautista Agut scores twice on football debut weeks after retirement

Roberto Bautista Agut, a former world No. 9 and Wimbledon semi-finalist, scored twice on his football debut for CD Els Ibarsos on 14 August 2026 — just over a month after retiring from tennis. The seventh-tier Spanish side won 4-2 in a pre-season match. Bautista Agut, 38, played in Villarreal's youth academy until age 14 before choosing tennis, which brought 12 ATP titles and a 2019 Davis Cup.
