India Hopes Nagal Recovers for Davis Cup

India will be hoping that Sumit Nagal recovers from his injury in time to lead the team in the Davis Cup qualifiers first-round tie against the Netherlands this weekend.

Nagal, who is currently ranked World No. 281, is India’s top-ranked singles player and an important member of the team. His presence will be key as India aims to put up a strong fight in the crucial Davis Cup match.

However, there are concerns about his fitness. Nagal had to retire during the first set of his last tournament match, a round-of-16 clash at the Nonthaburi Challenger in Thailand last month. The injury forced him to stop playing, raising doubts about whether he will be fully fit for the upcoming tie.

The Indian team management is closely monitoring his recovery. If Nagal returns in time, he is expected to lead the singles matches and boost the team’s chances. His experience and fighting spirit have helped India in many past contests.

If he is unable to play, other players may have to step up and take on the responsibility against a strong Netherlands side.

With the qualifiers approaching, all eyes will be on Nagal’s fitness as India prepares for an important weekend of tennis.
