Albot's form has been great over the past few months on basically all surfaces. We will focus only on clay court and say that he first reached RG main draw and put up a good fight against Paire and then won a big challenger in Furthu without dropping a single set. He had a slip (Bublik) after that which can be attributed to fatigue. He then went on with great performances on other surfaces. After Wimbledon he was once again better than Elias who had more advantages when it comes to the surface itself (clay). But that didn't help him as he won 5 five games in total. That confirms great form for Albot, who can definitely get all the way to the top. He beat Montanes and Struff by 5 games recently, Kamke by 7, Clezar by 8. All of them are more dangerous than Stebe at the moment. Granted, the German used to be Top 100 and had potential but injuries have clearly affected him greatly. He recorded his third ch win against Bachinger and we should note that he had a lot of problems in qualifiers against Eremin as well. He does have three wins here but he didn't do great against players less dangerous than Radu. The Moldavian is approximately at Estrella's level but he still lost to Estrella by 6 games and also to Stepanek by 4. That is why I see this handicap as an option that cannot be missed out.
