New Delhi: The announcement of Paris Olympics 2024 has been made. India will start its campaign in Archery from 25th July. India is expected to get one more medal in this event. Apart from this, Indian players can also win medals in tennis. Three male players are going to present their challenge from India in Paris Olympics. Sumit Nagal will challenge in Men’s Singles while veteran player Rohan Bopanna will carry forward the Indian hopes with Sriram Balaji in doubles.
Sumit has performed well in the international circuit recently. This season, he participated in three Grand Slams and reached a career-best 68th position in the ATP rankings. He also managed to reach the second round of the Australian Open. Nagal is a combative player and there is no doubt that he will give his best. However, his path will not be so easy as many top players of the world are participating in singles.

The responsibility of reaching the medal is on Rohan Bopanna
The responsibility of taking India to the medal position in tennis at the Olympics will largely rest on the experienced Bopanna. He has consistently performed well in doubles with different partners in the ATP circuit. This year, he won the Australian Open men’s doubles title and also reached the world number 1 rank. His partner Balaji has also performed impressively in doubles this season.

Both the Indian players have good height. Both have enough experience. The only problem is that they do not play together in the international circuit. If their coordination with Bopanna is good then India can do some magic in tennis. India has been successful in winning only one medal in tennis in Olympic history. Leander Paes won the bronze medal in men’s singles in the 1996 Olympics.
