Sumit Nagal Vs Shang Juncheng, Australian Open 2024 Live Streaming: How To Watch AO 2nd Round Match In India

Melbourne: Brimming on confidence Sumit Nagal will be aiming to get better of Shang Juncheng in the second round of the Australian Open 2024 on Thursday at Melbourne Park. The Indian created history when he defeated World No.31 Kazakhstan’s Alexander Bublik to become the first Indian after Ramesh Krishnan in 1989 to overpower a seeded opponent in a Grand Slam main draw. With his first-round win, Nagal became the first Indian to reach the Australian Open second round since now-retired Somdev Devvarman in 2013. On the other hand, the Chinese 18-year-old Juncheng came as a wildcard to outfox American Mackenzie McDonald to set a second-round date with Nagal. Notably, by winning the first-round match, Nagal ensured that he will pocket at least AUD 120,000 (approx Rs 66 lakh).
