India tennis ace Sumit Nagal's career has seen an upward swing this year, with him winning the Rome Challenger in April. It was the first ATP title won by an Indian in almost three years, with the previous winner being Ramkumar Ramnathan in Bahrain in 2021.
In subsequent interviews Nagal has said that he is feeling a lot fitter and moving better, particularly on clay, which is known to be a challenging surface. Incidentally, it's been six months since Nagal's association with sports nutritionist Sayali Naik. And a well-structured nutrition plan seems to have benefitted the tennis champ.
