Albot wins again in Turkey

Radu Albot has advanced into the quarterfinals of a Futures tournament held in Turkey after defeating Germany's Richard Waite, 6-3, 6-3, Info-Prim Neo reports. Albot, the favorite of this tournament with a total $10,000 of prize money, will fight for a place in the semifinals against Italian Edoardo Eremin. Moldova's best-rated tennis player, Albot won two other Futures tournaments in Turkey earlier this year. Also this week, another Moldovan tennis player, Maxim Dubarenco participated in a equivalent tournament in Israel, but was eliminated at the quarterfinals stage by Italian Alessandro Bega, 6-3, 6-0. Despite the defeat, the 18-year-old Dubarenco can be proud of his performance in the Israelite tournament, where he emerged victorious in 4 out of 5 matches, which will add to his ATP rating. On April 6-8, Moldova's best tennis players will come together in early April when the national men's team is to play Turkey in a relegation play-off in the Davis Cup's Euro/Africa Zone Group II.
