Sumit Nagal Wins Heilbronner Neckarcup Challenger, Becomes Eligible to Qualify for Paris Olympics

Indian tennis player Sumit Nagal won his second ATP Challenger title this season after beating Switzerland’s Alexander Ritschard 6-1, 6-7(5), 6-3 in the final of the event in Heilbronn, Germany.

With the win, Nagal won 100 ranking points that saw him jump from 95 to a career high world No 77 – a spot that may likely see him earn a spot in the men’s singles draw for the Olympic Games in Paris, which will begin in July.

Nagal had broken into the ATP top 100 after he won the Chennai Challenger in February, and has only grown since then.
