Bengaluru, February 13

Sumit Nagal’s power and precision was too hot to handle for Geoff Blancaneaux as the second-seeded Indian entered the second round of the Bengaluru Open with a smooth win here today.

Nagal, who won the Chennai Open on Sunday, waltzed past his French opponent 6-2 6-2 in 1 hour and 28 minutes. Nagal, who recently broke into ATP top-100, will face Coleman Wong of Hong Kong in the next round.

Earlier, top-seeded Italian Lucas Nardi defeated a fighting qualifier Dan Added of France 3-6 6-3 7-6 (0). Former world No. 25 Vasek Pospisil of Canada fought past Eric Vanshelboim 7-6(2) 3-6 6-4, Tristan Boyer upset world No. 17 Bernard Tomic 3-6 6-3 6-3.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
