Radu Albot (Mda) vs. Dusan Lajovic (Srb) – Prediction (22.10.2019)

Preview and players comparison.

Dusan Lajovic makes his fourth appearance in ATP Basel with a 2-1 record in the first round matches here. In his previous three appearances in Basel, only once he entered the main draw as the direct entrant, in 2016, when he failed against Kei Nishikori in the first round. The Serbian posted the best result of his career by winning his maiden tour title in Umag a few months ago but failed to build on it as he lost nine of his following 13 matches on the main tour. In fact, he hasn’t won back-to-back matches since that title-winning run in Umag in July. World #33 Dusan Lajovic’s only previous campaign on indoor hardcourt this season came in Moscow last week, where he edged past the Czech qualifier Lukas Rosol in the first round before losing to Adrian Mannarino in the second.

Radu Albot’s current form isn’t good enough as he has won only three of his last 11 matches on tour and is currently winless in three matches with the recent defeat coming on the indoor hardcourt of ATP Stockholm last week — against Yoshihito Nishioka in the first round.
This time last year, the top-ranked Moldovan won the title in Liuzhou challenger — defeated Miomir Kecmanovic in the final — but improved ranking allows him to make his debut in Basel this week. Dusan Lajovic raced to a dominant straight-set win when the pair met once on the ITF circuits nearly ten years ago (6-0 6-4). Both players have delivered improved results on the main tour this year but are struggling for form in recent weeks, which makes it difficult to pick a winner here.
