NEW DELHI: India's tennis dreams at the Paris Olympics were shattered early on Sunday as Sumit Nagal and the men's doubles team of Rohan Bopanna and N Sriram Balaji were ousted in their opening matches by French competitors.
Sumit Nagal took to the court first against Corentin Moutet. Despite battling hard, Nagal was defeated in a three-set thriller. Moutet won 2-6, 6-4, 5-7 in a match that lasted two hours and 28 minutes at Court Seven in Roland Garros. Nagal, in his second Olympic appearance, managed to recover after losing the first set but couldn't maintain his form in the deciding set.
