Roger Federer believes his win over Radu Albot at the Swiss Indoors was the result of being more prepared for the Moldovan.
He said:
“I’m extremely happy because I really struggled against him in Miami and he definitely got my attention there, I was basically a point away from losing. So it was important for me to show my reaction from that match, get out there and have a proper game plan and I think I learned a lot in that match.
"I respect Radu a lot, he tries everything to win, in an absolute fair, great and tough way. That’s why I’m very happy with the way I played today. I always had an answer for everything he threw at me and that was great.”
