Chennai, February 5

Sumit Nagal’s progress and entry into the top 100 would depend on his fitness and speed, said Indian tennis legend Anand Amritraj. Nagal made headlines last month after making it to the second round of the Australian Open.

“Sumit Nagal’s progress depends on his fitness and quickness because he cannot overpower too many people. He has to outlast them and construct the points,” Amritraj said on the sidelines of a Davis Cup celebration event at the Madras Cricket Club here today.

Nagal is currently No. 121 in the ATP singles ranking. Amritraj backed the 26-year-old to make it to the top-100 in the coming months, besides expecting him to be a regular face in the Grand Slams.

Amritraj praised Nagal’s forehand and backhand but advised him to work on his serve.
