I think he knows what he can bring. That’s why I think he’s going to have a very solid career: Federer
NEW YORK: The improbable did not happen but India’s Sumit Nagal exited the US Open fighting, stretching and even earning the respect of his opponent, the incomparable Roger Federer.
In another first-round match featuring an Indian, Prajnesh Gunneswaran got a taste of high-level tennis, losing to world number five Daniil Medvedev in straight sets at the Flushing Meadows on Monday night. With their losses, India’s singles challenge drew to a close on the opening day itself.
After taking a set off Federer, Nagal lost 6-4 1-6 2-6 4-6 in a match that lasted two hours and 50 minutes here on Monday night to bow out after making his maiden Grand Slam main draw.
“I think he knows what he can bring. That’s why I think he’s going to have a very solid career,” said Federer after the match.
The debut, at least in the opening set, was impressive as he stretched the “rusty” Federer, a five-time champion here with a career tally of 20 Slams.
