Heilbronner Neckarcup ATP Challenger: India’s top-ranked singles player, Sumit Nagal, overcame Switzerland’s Alexander Ritschard in three hard-fought sets, 6-1, 7-6(7-5), 6-3 to clinch the Heilbronner Neckarcup ATP Challenger title.

The journey to victory was anything but easy for the third-seeded Nagal. He started the final with a dominant performance, securing multiple breaks to outplay Ritschard in the first set, winning 6-1.
