India's top singles player, Sumit Nagal, experienced a disheartening first-round exit at Wimbledon after committing 44 unforced errors and losing in four sets to Miomir Kecmanovic of Serbia.
In his maiden men's singles main draw appearance, Nagal battled hard for two hours and 38 minutes, even taking a set off the world number 53 Kecmanovic, but eventually fell to a 2-6, 6-3, 3-6, 4-6 defeat on Monday night.
Nagal, currently ranked 72, showed glimpses of exceptional performance with 47 winners but struggled overall on the grass court, securing only 104 points to Kecmanovic's 122. This loss marks Kecmanovic's second victory over Nagal, following a previous win at the ATP 250 event in Cologne, Germany, four years ago.
