Radu Albot – Novak Djokovic will meet in the first round of the US Open. Argumented prediction for this match is made by Dailysports analysts.
Radu Albot
Experienced Moldovan tennis player all his career was considered a good middle-ranked player, but no more than that. Now Albot can already be called a veteran, he is 24 years old, and in the world classification he occupies a modest 138th line.
The athlete has already started at the US Open, as he managed to play three matches within the qualification, all games were not easy. First he beat the Spaniard Barranco – 6:1, 5:7, 6:4, then the Frenchman Van Asch – 6:2, 0:6, 6:4, in the last match he beat the Japanese Mochizuki – 6:4, 5:7, 6:3. The very fact of playing against the legendary Djokovic is already good news, although we must try to show quality tennis.
Novak Djokovic
“Nole” recently fulfilled his dream, won the Olympic Games, it was one of the last tennis peaks that he still conquered, in the final he managed to beat Alcaraz.
For Djokovic, the Olympics was the first tournament won in the year, the tennis player does not play everywhere, after all, he is 37 years old. The Serb has won 24 Grand Slam tournaments, which is a record, including four US Open titles. It is not clear what to expect from the athlete, after all, the second racket of the world and a star, but 37 years old is already a serious age.
