On Thursday, Indian tennis player Sumit Nagal challenged the three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka by winning the first set in the quarter-finals of Prague Open but then lost under pressure.
The 23-year-old Indian raised hopes of reversing the first set brilliantly against Switzerland's strong player by 6-2. But that did not happen, and the 127th ranked Indian was thwarted by world number 17 Wawrinka by winning the ensuing two sets 6–0 6–1, and making the semi-finals. The competition lasted for one hour and 19 minutes.
Along with this, Nagal won a set at the US Open last year against several Grand Slam champions and Swiss star Roger Federer and then lost. He won the quarter-finals of this clay-court tournament worth 137,560 euros by winning 5-7 7-6 6-3 against lower-ranked local player Kiri Leheka. Sumit Nagal had to face defeat, and this defeat has greatly affected the Indian team. But there can be no error of theirs, maybe, they have lost the game due to some pressure.
