The feat of winning the set at the US Open against giants like Roger Federer has given a lot of confidence to Sumit Nagal. Due to this confidence, Sumit Nagal feels that his aim to play in the Olympics is no more a distant dream. According to Nagal, in 2016, he could not even think about playing the Olympics, but today the situation is completely different.

According to Nagal, he can qualify for the Olympics. This is the reason why he has set a goal of getting into the top 100 for himself in the next three months, but for this, he needs a team of professional experts. With the help of the Virat Kohli Foundation and Indian Oil, Sumit is able to take the only coach Sasha Nensal with him.sumity-nagpal-breaking-into-top-100
