Quarterfinal clash set for Sumit Nagar vs China’s Wu Yibing

Sumit Nagar’s successful run at the Asian Games now pits him against China’s Wu Yibing in the upcoming quarter‑final. Wu, the world No. 111 and third seed for the event, is the only player to have beaten Nagar in this competition so far.

The Indian, who entered the tournament as the seventh seed, will need to adjust his game plan to counter Wu’s aggressive baseline play. Earlier, Nagar had navigated a disrupted match against South Korea’s Seongchan Hong, turning a 3‑2 deficit in the opening set into a 6‑4, 6‑0 triumph.

Both athletes will be watching closely, as a win for Nagar would mark a significant milestone for Indian tennis on the continental stage, while Wu looks to cement his reputation as the tournament favorite.
