ATP Delhi Open 2026: Nagal Exits After Second-round Loss; Banthia–Donski Advances In Doubles
The ATP Delhi Open: India’s top-ranked singles player Sumit Nagal bowed out of the ATP Delhi Open 2026 after suffering a straight-sets defeat to Italy’s Federico Cina in the second round at the DLTA Complex in New Delhi on Thursday. Meanwhile, the top-seeded doubles pairing of Siddhant Banthia and Alexander Donski progressed to the quarterfinals with a commanding win.
Competing in the ATP Challenger 75 tournament, Nagal was unable to overturn an early deficit against the 18-year-old Cina, who displayed composure beyond his years. Cina broke Nagal in the opening game and held firm to take the first set 6-4. He then surged to a 5-1 lead in the second set, putting himself on the brink of victory.
Nagal, ranked No. 297 in the world, mounted a brief fightback by saving three match points and narrowing the gap to 5-4, raising hopes of a comeback. However, Cina held his nerve in the final game to close out a 6-4, 6-4 victory in one hour and 40 minutes, ending India’s singles campaign in the tournament.
