Nagal will progress into the quarterfinals

Sumit Nagal looks in solid form at the moment. Even though, Garin is ranked much higher than Nagal, the Indian will be backing himself to spring up a surprise. The Chilean has not played competitive tennis for the past two months, whereas Nagal has been quite active on tour. Nagal has worked on several areas of his game in the past year and looks a much better player at the moment. The match is expected to be closely contested three set affair with Nagal just edging out the second seed to progress into the quarterfinals.
