Indian tennis ace Sumit Nagal’s campaign in the Shanghai Masters ended in a first-round exit after he suffered a 6-3, 6-3 defeat to China’s Wu Yibing here on Wednesday.

Nagal, 27, who has been in the news recently due to his dispute with the All India Tennis Association (AITA) regarding his participation in the Davis Cup fixture against Sweden, went down in straight sets leading to his second straight first-round elimination. In August, he had crashed out of the US Open in the first round after losing to Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands.
