New Delhi:
India’s top singles player Sumit Nagal dropped out of the top 100 after losing 16 points from his account, resulting in him slipping three places to 101 in the latest ATP rankings. Last year in the same week, Nagal had earned 41 ranking points by reaching the semi-finals of Chennai Challenger as a qualifier. He was defending those points and could only score 25 points in Bengaluru last week. Nagal became one of the few Indian tennis players to break into the top-100 after his tremendous performance in Chennai, where he won his sixth Challenger-level title.
India’s next best singles player, Ramkumar Ramanathan, moved up 42 places to 420th and is followed by Shashikumar Mukund (457, -20), SD Prajwal Dev (595) and Digvijay Pratap Singh (623, -11) .
Nagal is competing in the Pune Challenger this week. She will face Nikki Pooncha in the second round on Thursday.
In the doubles, Rohan Bopanna continued to be world number one player and was followed by Yuki Bhambri (60, 1), N Sriram Balaji (80, -1), Vijay Sundar Prashanth (81, 1), Saketh Myneni (89, 16 ) and Anirudh Chandrasekar (94, -4).
