ROUNDGLASS SPORTS has announced a partnership with India’s top-ranked singles player Sumit Nagal, further reinforcing the Roundglass Tennis Academy’s standing as one of the country’s most credible high-performance tennis ecosystems.
Nagal has achieved a career-high ATP ranking of world No.68. His journey includes winning the 2015 Wimbledon boys’ doubles title, making him the sixth Indian to lift a junior Grand Slam trophy. In 2020, he created history by becoming the first Indian since Somdev Devvarman at the 2013 US Open to win a singles main-draw match at a Grand Slam, progressing to the second round at the US Open. He later represented India in the singles main draw at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
More recently, Nagal registered a standout first-round victory over Alexander Bublik at the Australian Open, underlining his ability to compete consistently at the highest level.
In 2024, he reached another significant milestone by making his Masters 1000 debut at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, entering the main draw as a replacement for Rafael Nadal. With that appearance, Nagal became the first Indian to compete at a Masters 1000 event since Prajnesh Gunneswaran at the Miami Open in 2019.
Nagal said, “I see this association with Roundglass as a partnership built on trust, ambition and a shared vision for Indian tennis. Roundglass is creating something meaningful for players: an environment that respects the grind, understands the demands of the tour, and genuinely invests in development. I’m excited to be part of this journey and to contribute to a system that is pushing Indian tennis forward.”
Roundglass Tennis Academy lead Aditya Sachdeva added, “Bringing Sumit Nagal into the Roundglass Tennis Academy setup is a massive moment for us. He represents resilience, global competitiveness, and belief, qualities we want every young player here to absorb. His experience on the Grand Slam circuit, at the Olympics, and at Masters 1000 events adds enormous value to our environment. This association reinforces our intent to build a world-class pathway at RGTA for Indian tennis players.”
