One year after making headlines at the 2024 Australian Open, Sumit Nagal is back with a straightforward goal: to stay healthy, play the tennis he wants to play, and continuously improve. The 27-year-old Indian, who had to overcome on and off-court challenges to reach the 2024 Australian Open, is now a top 100 player and is looking to build on his success. Nagal will face world No. 26 Tomas Machac in the first round, and if he can pull off an upset win, he could face Rilley Opelka in the next round.
