Australian open qualifiers

Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association: India's top singles players have drawn French players as their singles main draw first-round rivals at the Bengaluru Open 2024 with second seed Sumit Nagal set to take on Geoffrey Blancaneaux and Ramkumar Ramanathan clashing with Maxime Janvier.

The prestigious tournament is being organised by Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association (KSLTA) at KSLTA Stadium. Qualifying rounds begin on Sunday while the final is scheduled on February 18.

Blancaneaux is not a new rival for Nagal, who he has beaten three times so far. Nagal, ranked 121, had even beaten him in the Australian Open Qualifiers and would look to extend his dominance over the French player.
