The 2024 US Open promises exciting matchups, and Indian tennis fans have their eyes on Sumit Nagal. Nagal ranked 72nd in the ATP standings, has secured a favourable draw in the first round. He is set to face Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands at Flushing Meadows on Monday.
Sumit Nagal awaits another Grand slam
The clash between Nagal and Griekspoor will take place on August 26, 2024, at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. While Griekspoor holds a higher ranking, Nagal’s recent performances suggest he could be well-prepared to take on the Dutchman.
Nagal, a rising star in Indian tennis, aims to make his mark in the Grand Slam arena. This first-round encounter will be crucial for both players. Should Sumit Nagal manage to overcome Tallon Griekspoor, he will face Argentina’s Sebastian Baez in the second round, followed by a possible third-round encounter with Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov. Both Baez and Dimitrov are formidable opponents, but neither presents an insurmountable challenge for Nagal if he can maintain his form and focus.
