“Wasn’t the Right Way” – Sumit Nagal Apologizes for Heated Celebration After Stunning Home Favorite in Maia

Winning a nearly three-hour tennis match against a home favourite is one thing. Getting carried away after the final point and then having to explain yourself is another. Sumit Nagal experienced both at the Maia ATP Challenger in Portugal, where he fought back from a set down to beat Henrique Rocha in a deciding-set tiebreak. The Indian No. 1 had every reason to celebrate a hard-earned victory, but his talking gesture toward the crowd drew boos and became the story after the match.
