Albot has made good progress in the last couple of months. In the run-up to the US Open, Radu reached the quarter-finals in Los Cabos and played in the Challenger semi-finals in Chicago. So Albot is in good playing condition now.
Albot is in excellent form at the moment. Not long ago, Radu reached the quarterfinals in Los Cabos and managed to reach the semi-finals in Chicago. The Moldovan has not lost a single set so far on the Istanbul courts and we believe this is unlikely to happen in the upcoming match.
