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.

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).
