Sony Sports Network: Rohan Bopanna and Sumit Nagal are currently two of the big tennis stars in India. Ahead of the upcoming French Open, former tennis star Somdev Devvarman talked about their chances in the second Grand Slam of the season in an exclusive conversation with IANS.

Sumit Nagal will be playing against World Number 18 Karen Khachnanov in the first round at Roland Garros on Sunday and it will be a challenging match for the 26-year-old Indian, said Somdev Devvarman.

“Very tough first round, to play a top-20 seed, not easy. Somebody who's, you know, made quarters comfortably, made semis at other Slams. He's been one of the consistent performers if you look at his ranking over the last five or six years. Khachanov is a tough nut. Sumit, I feel like he was playing really well at the start of the season, did well in Monte Carlo, and played a tough match.
