Indian tennis ace Sumit Nagal, reflecting on his Wimbledon first-round tie against Miomir Kecmanovic, believes inexperience on grass cost him the match. Despite the loss, Nagal remains determined to climb the rankings and is eagerly preparing for the Paris Olympics.
Nagal, 26, faced Kecmanovic in a marathon four-setter, ultimately falling short in a contest that lasted nearly three-and-a-half hours. With the Serbian ranked 52nd globally and Nagal at 71st, the Indian player managed to secure the second set but couldn't maintain momentum through the match.
Sharing his thoughts with Star Sports, Nagal acknowledged the challenges of competing on grass but remained positive about his future. He looks forward to competing on clay at the Paris Olympics, aiming to build on his experience and showcase his progress on the international stage.
