Sumit Nagal has had a disappointing season thus far. Nagal made it to the quarterfinals of the ATP Challenger event in Tulln, Austria, following an early exit in the Dobrich Challenger in Sofia, Bulgaria.

The 28-year-old failed to make it past the qualifiers at the French Open and Wimbledon after having lost in the opening round of the Australian Open.

Currently ranked World No. 290, the player from Haryana reached a career-high ranking of 68 in 2024.

Meanwhile, Zurich-born Marc-Andrea Huesler is currently ranked 222 with a career-high ranking of 47 back in 2023.

The 29-year-old can boast of having defeated a few fancied players in the past. The left-handed Huesler got past Holger Rune in the final to clinch his first ATP tour title in Sofia back in 2022 after defeating Pablo-Carreno Busta, who was then a top-20 player.

Huesler last played the ATP Challenger event in Istanbul earlier this month, failing to get past the Round of 32.

The Swiss player's best run this season was registered at the Cuernavaca Challenger in Mexico when he defeated Russian-born Kazakhstani Dmitry Popko to claim the title in April.

Sumit Nagal and Marc-Andrea Huesler faced off in an exhibition match back in 2020, with the Indian prevailing 7-6, 7-6.
