Indian tennis in 2019: Rise of Nagal, the Davis Cup that cost Bhupathi captaincy

The Hindu  

Sumit Nagal gave Indian tennis a blockbuster moment by taking a set off Roger Federer but it was the all-too-familiar player versus administrator tussle that dominated Indian tennis in a largely underwhelming year. Read: Serena and Tyson a knockout combination as tennis ace targets 2020 slam push With one title, one runners-up finish and six semifinal appearances on the Challenger circuit, Nagal made the year his own. If he can build on his 2019 show, Nagal could prove to be that elusive singles’ hope that Indian tennis has been searching for and Federer has predicted a “very solid career” for the flamboyant player. He is definitely proving to be a better version of Somdev Devvarman, the untiring counter-puncher who was Indian tennis’ last singles hope before being undone by innumerable injuries.
