India's number one Sumit Nagal produced a feeble effort to go down against Luciano Darderi of Italy in a lop-sided final of the Perugia Challenger on Sunday.
Sumit Nagal continued his splendid form by entering the semi-final of the ongoing Perugia Challenger on Friday. The sixth-seeded Indian overcame the challenge from the unseeded Maks Kasnikowski of Poland in the quarterfinal, winning in straight sets 6-4, 7-5. This is his eighth successive win since the start of Heilbronn Challenger in Germany. In the semi-final on Saturday, he will be taking on the winner of the other quarterfinal clash between the unseeded Bernabé Zapata Miralles of Spain and second seed Laslo Djere of Serbia. Earlier in the event, Nagal had been victorious against the unseeded Nerman Fatic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the opening round before being successful against the unseeded Alessandro Giannessi of Italy in the pre-quarterfinal.
Indian tennis star Sumit Nagal continued his fine form as he entered the quarterfinal of the ongoing Perugia Challenger here. On Wednesday, the sixth-seeded Indian toppled unseeded local Alessandro Giannessi in a three-set thriller 0-6, 7-5, 7-6(7-5). Last week, India's top singles player had won the Heilbronn Challenger in Germany. In the opening set, Nagal received heavy thrashing after the Italian blanked him 6-0. However, the 77th-ranked Indian did not back down from a fightback and kept things close in the following set before earning a lone break and winning the set 7-5 to take things to the decider.
India's top ranked singles player Sumit Nagal won the Heilbronner Neckarcup ATP Challenger event beating Alexander Ritschard of Switzerland in three hard-fought sets 6-1, 7-6(7-5), 6-3 on Sunday. With this title triumph, he will be entering the top 80 of the ATP Rankings, making him eligible to compete in the Paris Olympics next month. The official announcement is expected on Monday. Third seed Nagal did not have it easy, as unseeded Ritschard did provide stiff competition in second and third sets respectively. It was a dominant start for the Indian, who earned a couple of breaks to outplay the Swiss in the opening set 6-1. Despite Nagal earning a break in the second set, Ritschard broke back and took the set to the tie-breaker, where the latter was the evident force, winning 7-6(7-5).
Rajasthan Royals ended Royal Challengers Bengaluru's roller coaster run in the Indian Premier League with a scratchy four-wicket win in the Eliminator in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. After their bowlers had done their part well to keep RCB to 172/8, RR batters stuttered in the middle overs to allow RCB back into the contest which remained hung in balance for the majority of the second half, but the 2008 winners eventually got home with an over to spare. Chasing 173, Rajasthan ended with 174/6 as Rovman Powell (16 not out) provided the finishing touches in a tense finish.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Eliminator of the Indian Premier League, 2024, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. The match will commence at 7:30 PM IST. In their last match against Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals faced an unfortunate situation as the game was abandoned due to weather conditions. On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore secured a solid victory against Chennai Super Kings, winning by 27 runs.
How much of a bearing is the Indian Premier League likely to have on the T20 World Cup that follows so soon after it?
