Sumit Nagal finishes runner-up at ATP Perguia Challenger.

Sports

Sumit Nagal produced a weak effort to go down against Italy’s Luciano Darderi in a lop-sided final of the ATP Perugia Challenger on Sunday. The 26-year-old Nagal was no match for Darderi, losing 1-6, 2-6 in little over one hour in the summit clash as he failed to claim his third title this year. Nagal had advanced to the final with a fighting 7-6 (2), 1-6, 6-2 win over former world No. 37 Bernabe Zapata Miralles of Spain.


      But the Indian was no match for his Italian opponent, having his serve broken six times. On the other hand, Darderi was lethal on his serve with 96% first serve points won (22/23) and 36% (5/14) on the second.
