Filip wasn’t having the best of seasons before he arrived at the German Open. He was knocked out in the first round at Wimbledon and could reach only the second round at the French Open 2021. However, the kind of performance he delivered at the German Open earned him a lot of fans.

Filip reached the finals at the German Open but his dream run was halted by Pablo Carreño Busta who thrashed him in straight sets. However, the kind of performances he was able to put throughout the tournament would have given him a lot of confidence.

Filip would like to play with similar confidence at the Croatia Open as well. On the other hand, his opponent Radu Albot has started off in a brilliant fashion in the tournament as well. Albot defeated Holger Rune in his first-round clash at the Croatia Open.

Although Albot dropped the first set in real quick time, he time made a wonderful comeback and won the next two sets to confirm his place in the next round. Now he has a monumental challenge ahead of him in the name of Filip Krajinovic.

Radu Albot came into the Croatia Open after a disappointing outing at the Swedish Open. He was knocked out in the very first encounter. Nevertheless, he has started off well at the Croatia Open. However, it would be fair to say that the odds are clearly in the favor of Filip Krajinovic. The third-seeded player is expected to go into the next round without much hassle.
