India's Top-Ranked Singles Player Sumit Nagal Fails To Qualify For French Open
India's top-ranked singles player, Sumit Nagal, suffered a disappointing second-round exit from the French Open qualifiers, losing 2-6, 4-6 to Austria's Jurij Rodionov on Wednesday at Roland Garros. The defeat not only ended Nagal's campaign in Paris but also marked the first time in 2025 that he will miss the main draw of a Grand Slam. Nagal, ranked 170th in the world, had begun his qualifying journey with a confident straight-sets win over American Mitchell Krueger. However, he couldn't replicate that form against the 225th-ranked Rodionov, who wrapped up the contest in one hour and 29 minutes.
