    What's the story

    Indian tennis star, Sumit Nagal, was eliminated from the US Open on Tuesday, August 27.

    Despite a spirited performance, he lost in straight sets to Dutch player Tallon Griekspoor in the first round.

    The match ended with scores of 1-6, 3-6, and 6-7 (6) in favor of Griekspoor.

    This defeat marks Nagal's exit from the singles competition at this year's tournament.

    Match details

    Nagal's commendable performance in the third set

    Nagal, who is currently ranked 73rd globally, displayed his best tennis skills during the match.

    Despite being outplayed in the initial two sets with scores of 1-6 and 3-6, he showed remarkable resilience.

    In the third set, Nagal was more proactive but continued to struggle against Griekspoor's powerful serves.

    He managed to extend this set into a tie-breaker but ultimately lost three set points and the game.

    Game changer

    Nagal's unforced errors lead to defeat

    Despite reducing his unforced errors and putting pressure on Griekspoor, Nagal faltered at a crucial moment in the third set.

    Serving for the set at 6-5, he made several mistakes including a double fault and multiple unforced errors.

    These missteps cost him the game and ultimately led to his defeat in this round of the US Open singles competition.

    Upcoming events

    Griekspoor's victory and Nagal's upcoming doubles match

    Griekspoor, currently ranked 40th in the world, showcased his skills with a dominant first serve and impressive backhand return.

    After saving the set point, he demonstrated strong character by winning the tie-breaker 8-6 and securing his victory.

    Despite his singles defeat, Nagal will have another chance at the US Open when he competes in men's doubles alongside Japan's Yoshihito Nishioka on August 29.
