Swiss Indoors 2024: Sumit Nagal vs James Duckworth preview, prediction, and where to watchÂ
Sumit Nagal and James Duckworth are set to lock horns in Round 2 of the Qualifiers in the Swiss Indoors 2024. The IWB Court 1 in Basel, Switzerland, will host the exciting contest today (October 20).
Nagal has not had the best of times of late, failing to impress in the China Open, Shanghai Masters, and Stockholm Open. The 27-year-old tennis star, however, returned to winning ways after defeating Facundo Diaz Acosta in the first round of the qualifiers in the Swiss Indoors.
Nagal had to fight hard to beat Acosta. He lost the opening set and looked in all sorts of trouble. From the second set onwards, Nagal upped his game to eventually win the match 5-7, 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (7-5).
Duckworth, on the other hand, also has had his fair share of struggles. He came into the tournament after losing in the first round of the Almaty Open. He defeated Mika Brunold of Switzerland 6-3, 7-6 (7-4) in the first round of the Qualifiers in Basel.
