Paris 2024: Tennis - India's Tennis Hope: Bopanna and Nagal Secure Paris 2024 Olympics Quotas
Rohan Bopanna and Sumit Nagal secured Paris 2024 Olympics quotas for India in tennis through their ATP Rankings in doubles and singles, respectively.
World No. 4 Bopanna, who has been in the top 10 of the doubles rankings since November last year, was expected to obtain the quota for India comfortably. Meanwhile, Nagal made the cut after climbing 18 places in the singles rankings since last week.
Nagal was 95th in the tennis rankings last week but he reached a career-high of 77th following his ATP Challenger title win at the Heilbronn Neckarcup in Germany on Sunday. Though Nagal is 77th in the rankings, he occupies the last spot among the eligible players who obtained quotas through world rankings.
Nagal, who represented India at the Tokyo Olympics, was ranked 138th in January but has been in exceptional form since then. The Indian tennis player broke into the top 100 for the first time after winning the Chennai Open earlier this year.
Rohan Bopanna will play his 4th Olympics while Sumit Nagal will play his second Olympics.
