Nagal will be the only Indian in action in singles
For Sumit Nagal, Flushing Meadows isn’t just another stop on the calendar. It’s the place where his Grand Slam journey started.
Back in 2019, a young Nagal walked out here to face Roger Federer in his major debut. Seven years later, he’s back on the same courts, but this time, he is trying to battle through qualifying against France’s Arthur Gea.
It hasn’t been an easy road for him this year. Nagal started 2026 dealing with a hip injury and had to take time off to get it sorted properly. He then came back and played his part in India’s Davis Cup win over the Netherlands at home, a result that surely meant a lot to him.
Since then, he picked up his first title of the season at the INTARO Open in Târgu Mureș, and that kind of win should give his confidence a nice boost heading into this stretch on hard courts.
But Gea is walking in with real momentum behind him, and he just won the ATP 250 in Los Cabos, beating Denis Shapovalov in the final, only to find out the title came too late to get him into the main draw here.
He is playing with real intent, and his return game on outdoor hard courts has been especially dangerous over the past year too.

For Nagal, this match comes down to leaning on his experience and everything these courts have meant to him over the years. The occasion suits him, no doubt.
Whether his game holds up against Gea’s current form is the real question, but Nagal has never been someone who shies away from a tough test and Flushing Meadows tends to bring the best out of him.
