It’s well-known that most of the current top tennis players in the World are from Europe and America, so having an Indian player in the main-draw of Roland Garros isn’t very common, however, Sumit Nagal is still trying to get into the top spots of the ATP ranking, but he must be capable of competing and overtaking players like Karen Khachanov, who is going to be his opponent in the first round.
If we look at Karen Khachanov's performance he had very regular participations in Montecarlo, Madrid and Rome, and although he’s clearly far from the final instances that he reached during the 2023 season, he is still one of the toughest players to face on clay, so his goal for this edition of Roland Garros should be to reach at least the round of 16.
On Sumit Nagal’s case, he’s having the best level of his career and has finally been able to surpass the top 100 of the ATP ranking, even so, he hasn’t won any ATP Tour tournament. Additionally, he hasn’t won any tournament on clay this season, and the last one was the Challenger in Tampere 2023. With that in mind, it’s logical that he isn’t favorite to reach a second-round spot in this match.

Karen Khachanov - Sumit Nagal Key Points
- Karen Khachanov reached the quarterfinals during the 2023 Roland Garros edition, but it’s unlikely to see him broken that line in this edition.
- Sumit Nagal accumulates a streak of 3 consecutive losses, not being able to win a single set during his 2 last matches at the Challenger in Bordeaux and the ATP 250 in Geneva.
- Karen Khachanov must avoid suffering as much as he did during his first-round match in the 2023 edition of Roland Garros against Constant Lestienne (3-6, 1-6, 6-2, 6-1, 6-3).
- Sumit Nagal is going to make his debut at Roland Garros with this match, and he’s certainly aiming to surpass his best Grand Slam’s performance (2nd round).
