On July 21, Filip Krajinovic goes against Radu Albot in the second round of the tournament in Umag. What to expect from this matchup? Our answer is in the prediction below.

Command Analysis

Filip Krajinovic

Krajinovic is in great shape at the moment. Last week, Filip got to the final of the tournament in Hamburg. And this, of course, is an excellent result for the Serbian tennis player, who hasn't given many happy moments to his fans this season. At the Hamburg Open, Krajinovic lost in the final fight to the Spanish tennis player Pablo Carreno Busta (2-6, 4-6).

Radu Albot

Albotis, on the contrary, not convincing at all right now. Radu left the last few tournaments after the first round. Perhaps the situation will change at the Croatia Open, at least Albot has made a good start. In the first round, he defeated Holger Rune (1-6, 6-3, 6-2), to whom he lost in three sets last week in the first round of the tournament in Bastad.

Tip and bets
Krajinovic seems like an obvious choice in this matchup, since he just reached the final in Hamburg and is seemingly in his best form. However, one should not rush to conclusions: the Serbian player has spent a lot of energy in the recent tournaments, besides, he and Albot have a tie in the head-to-head. We believe that Radu Albot has a very good chance as well.
Our prediction - Albot to win with a handicap (+5)
The opponents have met on clay twice, and both matches were quite long. With Krajinovic's long campaign at the tournament in Hamburg last week, we don't think he will be able to end this match quickly. Our bet is on a long confrontation.
