He reached his first ATP-level quarterfinal at St. Petersburg in 2012, losing to Fabio Fognini.

Bautista-Agut's first tournament of 2013, in Chennai, saw him reach his first career ATP final. He defeated World No. 6 Tomáš Berdych in the quarterfinals in three sets and faced World No. 9 Janko Tipsarević in the final, to whom he eventually lost after winning the first set. This run saw Bautista-Agut reach a career-high singles ranking of World No. 51 in March 2013.

2014

Bautista-Agut started his 2014 campaign in Auckland, where he made the semi-finals of the Heineken Open. He fended off fellow Spaniard Daniel Gimeno-Traver in an opening round three setter, beating Frenchman Benoît Paire in the second round and Jack Sock in an easy 6–1, 6–3 result. His tournament ended in the semi-finals, where he lost to third seed and eventual champion John Isner 6–3, 6–7 (2–7), 4–6.

Bautista-Agut then traveled to Melbourne to participate in the first Grand Slam of the year, the Australian Open. In the opening round, he beat American Tim Smyczek in three easy sets. This win set him up to play World no.5 Juan Martín del Potro. He recorded one of the 2014 Australian Open upsets, beating Del Potro in a five setter, 4–6, 6–3, 5–7, 6–4, 7–5.^[4][5] This win would set him up with a third round clash against Benoît Paire (who he beat earlier in the year, in the Heineken Open second round). He would defeat Benoit in straight sets and would go on to face Grigor Dimitrov in 4th round. He lost to Dimitrov in 4 sets.
