Sumit Nagal qualifies for round 2 of Monte Carlo masters after defeating Matteo Arnaldi

The Monte Carlo Masters is already creating history with some exciting matches going on. One of the biggest surprises of the tournament is Sumit Nagal becoming the first Indian tennis player to qualify for the tournament in the last 42 years. This is one of the greatest moments for Indian tennis right now. This will still be a tough tournament for Nagal with a tournament featuring some high-seeded players, but with his performances, he looks hungry to get his hands on the title.

Nagal has performed well in the qualifiers beating some high-ranked and high-seeded players. This was the start he needed going into the tournament. Nagal has not had the best of tournaments before where he has failed to make much of a difference. His qualification in the main draw in one of the iconic ATP tournaments is one of the biggest moments of his career so far. Everyone will be backing the Indian upcoming star in his clay journey.

Nagal makes it to round 2

Sumit Nagal was up against another high-ranked player in Italian Matteo Arnaldi. This was another intense game for the talented Indian tennis player. This was one of the biggest tests of Nagal’s career. The first set was an even battle between the two players, where Arnaldi managed to win the first set 7-5. Nagal, being under pressure, had to come back strong in the next two sets to win. This is what exactly happened as Nagal destroyed Arnaldi in the second set winning it by a score of 6-2. The last and final set was slightly gruelling as well, but it was Nagal who broke the serve and qualified for the first round.

This was one of the best moments for Nagal going into this game. He will be playing in the second round against last year's runner-up Holger Rune. This will be another big challenge as he will be playing against a world number 7 ranked player. Nagal will have to bring his A game in the upcoming match if he wants to get close to winning an ATP title. However, this is a moment to celebrate and cherish for the 26-year-old who has done what most Indian tennis players could only dream about.
