Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Radu Albot from Moldova, aged 34, currently ranked at World No. 149 and with a career-high ranking of No. 39, will be facing Maxime Cressy from the USA in their first meeting. In 2019, Albot achieved his career-high ranking and recorded his personal-best 31 wins, which included his first ATP Tour title at Delray Beach where he defeated Evans after saving three match points. At the age of 33, Albot earned his 100th career win by defeating Coria in the first round of the 2023 Banja Luka tournament. He has reached the third round of Grand Slam events as a qualifier, at the 2017 US Open, 2018 and 2021 Australian Open, and 2022 Wimbledon. Albot has a Challenger record of 216-159, with a recent title win in Istanbul in 2022. As a junior player, he reached a career-high ranking of No. 11 in 2007 and has defeated future ATP No. 3 players Dimitrov and Raonic. Albot is fluent in Romanian, Russian, and English, and has some proficiency in German and Spanish due to his training experiences in Romania, the USA, Germany, and Spain. It is worth noting that Albot is aiming to clinch his first ATP Tour win on grass since defeating No. 63 Sousa at the 2022 Stuttgart tournament. He has struggled on tour-level grass, with a 1-8 record since the beginning of the 2021 season and an overall record of 8-15. Albot also aims to become the first player from Moldova to achieve a match win at this event.
On the other hand, Maxime Cressy, aged 27, currently ranked at World No. 180
with a career-high ranking of No. 31, will be facing Albot. Cressy, who is French-born but represents the USA, broke into the Top 100 in January 2022 and reached the Top 50 in June 2022 before attaining his career-high ranking in August 2022. He achieved his first ATP Tour title at the 2022 Newport tournament, where he rallied from a 6-2 3-0 deficit to defeat Bublik. This victory came three years after his debut as a qualifying wildcard ranked 293rd at the 2019 Newport event. Cressy has also reached finals at the 2022 Melbourne tournament as a qualifier, as well as the 2022 Eastbourne and 2023 Montpellier tournaments. Notably, he defeated No. 9 Rune in the semifinals of the Montpellier event, which equaled the biggest win of his career. Cressy qualified for the 2021 Australian Open and 2021 Wimbledon, reached the fourth round of the 2022 Australian Open, and defeated No. 9 Auger-Aliassime in the first round of the 2022 Wimbledon. He played college tennis for UCLA from 2016-19, where he had an impressive record of 26-0 in doubles as a senior. He won the 2019 NCAA doubles title with K. Smith and ended his college career as the No. 1 doubles player and No. 17 singles player in the nation. Cressy is seeking his first ATP Tour win of 2024, with his most recent tour-level win occurring in Atlanta last July when he defeated Michelsen in the first round. He is one of two former champions in the draw, having won his first ATP Tour title at this event in 2022.
