India’s tennis ace Sumit Nagal bowed out of the US Open after losing in the first round match against Tallon Griekspoor in the opening round of the Men’s Singles in New York.

Nagal was out of touch in the first two sets of the clash, however, he fought hard to take the third set to tie-breaker before ending up on the losing side 1-6, 3-6, 6-7 (6) against the Dutch opponent. India’s hopes at the US Open remain alive, with Rohan Bopanna, Yuki Bhambri, and N Sriram Balaji yet to start their campaigns in the men’s doubles category alongside their respective partners.
