Sumit Nagal has withdrawn from Munich, Barcelona, and Bucharest, making his intentions clear for the 2024 Rolland Garros. He will next play at the Mutua Madrid Open, starting on April 24.
Nagal is currently having the best year of his career. The Haryana-born tennis star has become the first Indian since 2019 to qualify for the main draw at the French Open in 2024.
The 25-year-old's qualification for the clay court Grand Slam event, which will take place from May 20 to June 9, comes at the end of a string of strong outings that have helped him climb into the 80th ranking.
He has won the Chennai Open and was the semi-finalist at the Bengaluru Open in the ATP Tour. But Nagal stunned everyone at Melbourne Park, where he upset World No. 38 Alexander Bublik in straight sets to become the first male Indian to defeat a ranked player at a Grand Slam since 1989.
In the ATP Masters 1000 competition at the Monte Carlo Masters, Sumit Nagal achieved yet another first. He advanced to the singles main draw of the clay-court ATP Masters tournament after winning back-to-back matches in the qualifying rounds. In the history of tennis, he became the first Indian player to accomplish this feat. This win propelled him to the World No.80 in next week's rankings.
The matchup with World No. 7 Holger Rune in the second round marked the end of his campaign. Winning an ATP Masters clay-court singles main draw match is no small accomplishment. In the history of the competition, only three Indian players have made it to the Monte Carlo Masters main draw.
