Command Analysis
Current form
Albot was stronger than Albert Ramos-Vinolas in the first round of the challenger in Girona - 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. Radu did not make a single ace in the confrontation with the Spaniard, made five break points and lost four games on his serve. For the Moldovan tennis player, it was his first clay game of the season.
Professional qualities
Albot has adapted perfectly to playing on clay, where he is able to show his best tennis. Radu is short, so he makes up for the lack of a powerful serve in his arsenal with excellent movement around the court. Of the punches, one can probably single out his backhand along the line, which he often completes his attacks with.
Current indicators in the tour
Albot once held the 39th place in the world ranking. He is currently in the 189th position. During his career, the 35-year-old Moldovan tennis player has won 24 trophies, one of which is the ATP category. He won his last title in 2022, winning the open hard court in Istanbul.
