Roger Federer vs. Rabu Albot – Prediction (23.10.2019)

Preview and players comparison.

Radu Albot was in the form of his life when he met Roger Federer in Miami this March, and he made it count by pushing the Swiss to the distance, 6-4 5-7 3-6. However, on current form, it would be extremely difficult for Albot to produce a similar effort in Basel this Wednesday.

Top seed Roger Federer comfortably dispatched the struggling Peter Gojowczyk (6-2 6-1) to improve his first-round record in ATP Basel to 18-1. He now heads into this clash with an impressive 16-1 record in the second round of ATP Basel — lost to Ivan Ljubicic back in 2003. It was the Swiss #1 Federer’s first outing on indoor hardcourt (on the main tour) this year. He previously played two singles matches in the Laver Cup and managed to win both of those matches against Nick Kyrgios and John Isner. World #3 Roger Federer bagged an impressive 16 wins on the surface in 2018 at the expense of only three defeats, which earned him two titles in Rotterdam and Basel. Roger Federer is a nine-time champion of ATP Basel and is currently on a 21-match winning streak in this tournament. His most recent defeat in this event came against Juan Martin Del Potro in the final of 2013 edition, 6-7 6-2 4-6. Despite performing well below his standards in these ten months, 2019 has been a reasonably successful season for the Swiss as he has bagged 51 wins at the expense of eight losses, which earned him three titles on the main tour in Halle, Miami, and Dubai.

Rabu Albot secured a hard-fought three-set win over the reigning ATP Umag champion Dusan Lajovic to reach the second round of ATP Basel on his debut appearance, 2-6 6-3 6-4. This is already an improved result for the top-ranked Moldovan, considering he was competing on the Challenger circuits during this period of the calendar in 2018 and was winless in three matches on tour before entering Basel this week.
