NEW DELHI: Sumit Nagal, the Indian tennis sensation, advanced to the quarterfinal of the Perugia Challenger in Italy on Wednesday. The sixth-seeded player showcased his resilience by overcoming unseeded local Alessandro Giannessi in a thrilling three-set encounter, with scores of 0-6, 7-5, 7-6 (7-5).
This victory comes on the heels of Nagal's triumph at the Heilbronn Challenger in Germany last week. Despite a challenging start, where Giannessi dominated the first set 6-0, the 77th-ranked Indian refused to concede defeat.
