Sumit Nagal, who is currently preparing for the Paris Olympics to participate in the men’s singles tennis event, received some impressive news just a few weeks before the Olympics. The 26-year-old tennis sensation achieved a career-high ranking of 68. Although Nagal faced a second-round exit in the Brawo Open Challenger in Braunschweig after losing to Pedro Cachin with a score of 6-4, 7-5, his impressive performance in the round of 32 earned him this career-best ranking.
Previously ranked at 71, he jumped three spots. This record makes him the fourth-highest ATP-ranked Indian player of all time.
